Bitter Reality, by M-chan
Screaming, silent, with bitter tears,
This is all my worst of fears.
You don’t hear me,
No one does.
Past this aching masquerade,
You can’t see.
This fortress I’ve built, so grandiose
In its glory,
Hides a bitter story.
It’s something I’ve never thought
Anyone should care to know.
But you, you’re the one
I want to look this way.
I struggle to find
The right words to say.
Only acrimonious silence,
Of the sharpest kind,
Is there to find.
Now I’m tired of these
Hurtful games.
They’ve left me,
And maybe you,
Lame, broken, shattered.
So I’ll crawl away,
From the burning light
Of a new dawn.
It only leaves the taste
Of acid in my mouth.
I’ll return to my palace
Of sweet solitude.
No one will disturb me,
In this ever harsh
Reality.
You run back to loving,
Waiting arms.
It’s a place I could never go,
So I’ll remain
In my spiteful silence.
Wishing, only, for
A long awaited look,
From your direction.

Poems don't have to rhyme to flow well nor do they need rhymes be amazing! Each of your poems evoke different feelings and it's a great thing to have variety in writing that way your readers will never be bored. You're fantastic, keep doing what you do! :)

Thanks so so much! I actually try to write differently. I lean more toward less rhyme-y poems, because that's my style. I'm glad you love it, and I'm happy to have you around to comment. :)
