ARTIFICIAL

Artificial

angry, is my poetry
my rhymes, ne-ver complete
lashing, out against him
as i, call in the fleet

why, does he go back
to a girl, he does not deserve
he, broke her heart once
in pieces, it was served

i, am ready to
just, get up and fight
over, this one girls heart
show off, power and might

angry, i turn to wolf
in face, of the big full moon
emotions, begin to swirl
crea-ting a typhoon

i now pick up a piece
of her shattered heart
hold it in my hand
as i'm tearing him apart

blood is turned to ink
as i spread, it across this page
reveal, my bloodstained claws
as i make, the world my stage

he, tries to win her back
close, but no cigar
he, still has her heart
but this, won't get him far

it's the, actions he takes
which will, define his course
wea-ther her heart will break
love is, a powerful force

but can, she overcome
e-motions towards him
save, herself the tears
remove, artificial grin

all, this just for him
smile, for so long faked
this girl's heart was de-li-cate
just, like a snowflake

but, on this one day
he, turned up the heat
evaporated love
reducing, it to sleet

now it's nothing more
than, just a cold rain
able, to hide her tears
but obv-ious is her pain

i, know how she feels
i, can look past the lies
in, the form of smiles
within, the twilight

now, tears come from me
as i, see her heart crack
shat-tering apart
and forming holes form black

once, again tick tock
time, just passes by
with, some feelings
that can-not be denied

but, will she go back
this, will be his fourth shot
fired, in the dark
from, a heart outfought

but ulti-mate-ly
the choice, comes down to her
weather, she stays with him
or finds, a guy she deserves

but just, like i said
the, choice is not mine
i love her to death
but that, won't stop decline

in my final words
things, get heated up
a story, to be continued
but for now, just be starstruck
