Love and Pain;
One,
the same
Drive me mad
then back to sane
I am here and I am not
I discovered
- wasn't taught
Life, a test... a request...
a demand
Pass if your mind is open
Fail if you can't understand
Pass or fail
you're thrown to the dogs;
Relinquished to society's spectating mobs
Hope...resides in what is not
Only rely on what you've already got
Nobody looks
- so we can't see
Falling, ever so gracefully
God on a keychain
Left with no plan
Confusion came with God to man
Shark infested waters;
needle in the raft
One sign read REPENT
The other, DOLLAR DRAFT!
Typically sedated; hearts so far away
In a numb and stupified state of mind
we stumble through the day
Horrible atrocities...
Whispers upon young tongues.
Always
Forever
Divided
then Done....
Love you for always
'til death do us part
Ending almost before we start
Demand to know;
Refuse to cry.
Like stabbing a man who refuses to die
My soul is poisoned
with your innocent lies
Flames of fury engulfing me;
swallowing rapidly everything
Fingers, stifling, choking;
Gripping my neck as I calmly sit
sipping chamomile tea...
I'm reaching out but it's only me
Blessings, (I've counted) are many and few
I'm still here and where are you?
Never what it seems
Maybe a dream
They say you snooze you lose
Feel worn and stained and torn and washed,
rung out, hung out to dry
Just so you know,
when you said "Forever,"
I already knew you lied.
