Fallin’, fallin’.
My desperation is rising.
So frail and neglected.
The danger was presented
And with a gleeful heart I accepted.
I played with the devil's rose;
I was ripped open with its thorns.
Such a shame I was so naïve;
I went against everything I believe.
Just absolutely disgusting.

It's enough to make me want to scream.

Shakin', shakin’.
My failures rear their ugly head
Another pathetic plea
To another demented human being.
I can do so much better,
But I prefer my standards to the dirt floor.
Exaggeration is my strong point,
Reeling from a dreamed upon love.
Give me something to hold wide awake;
I'm sick of these porous games.

It's all part of this lovelorn dream.

The author's comments:
I was listening to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and decided to write a poem the exact opposite of that song. To me, this is what the "Teenage Dream" in the end turns out to be. If this looks familiar, it is also on my deviantART "simplyfeel" account.
