White To Live
Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 20
White noise is all I hear
When you utter your hurtful thoughts
White lights in every tear
When I think of what you've taken from me.
ππππ
White on white,
You were obsessed.
Everything had to be white,
Except for the love that you betrayed.
ππππ
White lies are what you gave.
My tears flowed blood red.
No excuse for how you behave
Just condemnation instead.
ππππ
My white horse is all stained with red,
Bloodied and confused.
I saved your life, thatβs what you said,
And now I just feel used and abused.
ππππ
So go ahead and think youβre white
Live your life as you choose.
But when you try to sleep at night,
Itβs you who will see what you lose.
ππππ
Till next time,
Calvin

Tragically emotive & powerful. I especially liked the White lies verse & βMy white horse is all stained with red,β Excellent ππΌ.
Oh wow! Calvin! This is quite powerful. I really felt these lines "I saved your life, thatβs what you said, And now I just feel used and abused." very personally. I saved someone once and I do feel quite used and emotionally abused by them these days.
Oh, I read the challenge now. It seems fun! 20 days.. I loved how you incorporated 'white' with feelings and different emotions. As always, GREAT at poems πππ
Wow beautiful
