Gray Facade

Your lies made me doubt myself

they shouted as you whispered,

paraded in and out at night

hidden behind a gray ghostly facade,

in the light of day

the suit you wore still spoke

of black and white

love the paradox...the shouting and whispering juxtaposed...

there is so much gray area in life...yet some profess to be open minded and then really do see things only in black or white..no middle ground..
another good one with nice philosophy in the lines.

Much appreciate your kind words, coming from someone who's poetry I admire it means a lot.

So very deep is this my friend. The anger seems still to be fighting to get out. You place your soul in these words and bear the truth of the pain. I am becoming a big fan.

if only we trusted our instincts more strongly. holding back calling a spade a spade keeps one from making snap decisions about someone but can also keep us in the dark. wonderful poem here. nice job!

It is so easy to allow ourselves to be tainted by the thoughts of others, especially those that we love. I have been here before...doubting my own compassion and self worth because of the constant breaking down of another person. You have used a lot of beautiful imagery here...I especially like the suit and the colors or gray, black and white--they illustrated your concept well.

Thank you so much for reading Sarah.

How easy it is to believe the worst about ourselves when one who is supposed to care utters the lies..
It was never you.. It was actually them all along.

Very well thought out piece. :)

Thank you Rogue, you get it. :)

A perfect merging of black and white, this well spelled out grey, your words speak volume. I felt this one. And all the analogy. Thank you for sharing. Brilliant.

That the poet can reflect, and now crystalize that moment speaks volumes
within itself; a thoughtful, and introspective piece..
