A dream...

A dream...

A Poem by Jessica Lynn Polley

It something that is building...climbing its way up. 
I can feel it in your looks, but the feelings were not enough. 
I stayed to see it... the monster they all said you were, 
because I just could not picture it, and I was ready to fight the world
Something even stranger than loving all of you 
Was my reluctance to accept the monster that dwells in my heart to. 
Why is it so easy to feel everything and let it consume me? 
When all I ever really wanted was for you to see right through me. 
I do not even function on this level, my mind is nothing but twisted words. 
When I should have told you to leave all I could think about was how much it would hurt. 
My brain pulses to its own drum only then does my heart chime in, 
I was letting you get to me and it was all starting again. 
Nothing is unconditional not passion, hate, or even love... 
but noting that nothing is unforgivable and I just prey that that is enough. 
I know you just don't get me and trust that I do not even understand... 
but I signed on as this enigma and that is exactly what I am. 
I am nothing but a fallacy, a muttered lie in my own right... 
So make me up to better if that what it takes to lull you to sleep at night. 
I am devoted to your monster the bearer of my bad news... 
I am but I projected image of everything you wont accept about you. 
My mind is screaming nonsense and someday I know I will open up my eyes... 
to see a different world around me, one where you never even tried. 
Because this is my last stand my one chance to toe the line. 
When all my dreams are broken I finally get a chance to have what was mine. 
A little bit of truth that your monster kept from me. 
That once day Ill wake up and this will all just be a dream.

I love the rhyming scheme and and the vocabulary you used to make this one. I couldn't even tell you which lines are my favorite, but I can relate to these:
"Why is it so easy to feel everything and let it consume me?
When all I ever really wanted was for you to see right through me.
I do not even function on this level, my mind is nothing but twisted words.
When I should have told you to leave all I could think about was how much it would hurt. "
Enjoyed the read very much.
