Description The chair seated by me
                                  Collects dust. Empty.
Except for the occasional
d.i.s.t.u.r.b.a.n.c.e.    
                                  every new season.
I am JADED
                                 in skin tone. And emotion.

- A belief that white
                          is the
                                        blackest black.
Could it be?
The truth can be so bitter to take. Unwanted.


- Mistaking kindness as
                                          Mere manipulation.
Could it be?
The lies just seem more honest.  Needed.


- A belief that true love
                            is the
                                           downfall of me.

Its hard to say why I like this poem. I just do.
The contraditions are plain, simple but very highly effective! And the final part...

"A belief that true love is the downfall of me"

...seems to stick out for me, maybe its just my current mood.
Good work though, keep it up.
