A Wrongful Way


By frivolous concealment means  I wrongful intervene

Attempting to help you flee rather free

From you the same burden of what I believe is soon to be

Friend I fear I must lend you my past

So that though I unintentionally forced myself into agonizing last

You won’t have to crumble into a heart’s cast

But yet still unrevealing and still just as apparently to be teasing

Never releasing , Continuously seizing

Always secreting and not at all yielding

I conflict my purpose and like a rookie I lose my way

With the damage of my words already done I’m not sure if I even left any complications at bay

We both hide our emotions through visible display

Something  I should mindfully respect by not hitting the replay

Yet I crossed even my own lines to say

When you want something so bad that you need it

Don’t rant or you’ll end up sad Don’t lead the dread of getting bite

For what you don’t admit or declare completely without wit

Will end up lost and You will have to pay the worst cost

Of forever knowing it could have been different

But still I know I conveniently also made this mistake

As I continued to fake

And this duplicitous apology I know you may not be able to accept and take

But as of now for your sake

I will straightforwardly speak what I don’t speak
