Anger
To say I love you would be a lie
A ruse hidden among many truths
To say I despise would be too nice
Misleading the depth of this pain in the eyes who pry
Here stands all that I am buried in
Contracting, writhing, when a false reality smacks the wood
I watch the fuel that feeds this never ending stain turn to ash and float away.
Any haven set for me, binds my thoughts and dignity. Iron cuffs and silver
chains stalk these feelings and lames true gain. Imprisoning all that which
imitate happiness.
So now let it known as to why your very soul can make me cry.
But when peace steals over me. That is when I know you have cease to be.
