"Peace Offering"
I will bring you symbol of forgiveness,
This war was never more-
Than me remembering what we were.
So I present it to you,
Glowing and proud,
Hoping you won't accept,
Because hard feelings,
And sides of regret,
Come Only when you care.
What if I smell your contempt in the air?
Want at least a slight somber glaze,
When you see my joyful smiling face.
It's horrible, but it's true.
You hurt me,
Just want to see,
If I hurt you.
So I give you this offering,
Something of a Trojan horse.
With my deceitful peace,
I march towards your city,
But to my dismay,
Suddenly I am glass.
You see right through me,
And your clean gaze meets me with pity.
