Peeling The Rest Away
And Feeling All Home
Picking at the edges
Where it’s frayed and weather proofed
Standing on the ledges
uncovering my truth
Exacting the best revenge has
Ripped right through my best excuses
So, I’ve made a solemn pledge
To rewrite my own conclusions
A deep and dark dissection
Of the nature of my ways
A improbable misdirection
To capture the essence of my gaze
Casting a new reflection
Wiping away the cosmic haze
To control the minds deception
Explaining how they stay in place
In retrospect my ending
Like my endeavors have to wait
My need to know is sending
My imagination through the gate

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?

Oooo, this was so profound and powerful!
It is a great use of rhyme scheme and a good source of power.
Great use of rhyme throughout! The last two lines were very powerful!
