An Understatement

She threw an understatement where my thoughts lingered Words hiding beneath the shadow of reason, Triggered Thoughts sinking in portrayed reality Silently in a raging mind As she sips drunk from the bottle of poetry Excuses masking the face of her true mind With such an intense blindness Her love being my weakness The past blinded us As we try to put it behind us Though she never forgot about us The past threw us into the pits of guilt and blame Provoked my words so I can speak The truth she wrote in letters for me to seek In rain, In pain, And in shame She threw an understatement where thoughts strolled down the isle of reality Enticing my ear drums with words of reality A plea to pick up where we left off Where words never ceased to intertwine with thoughts of, Textured morality, Blueprint of sin, Gene filled iniquity My faults I have not seen Word-spoken into blasphemy And mouth-spoken into tragedy A product of change, Sole-minded to purity A dream for both of us to age She threw an understatement where thoughts knocked on suicide doors Wings withered and clipped Imperfection, Judgment its yours Heart shuttered, Bled and ripped Iniquity,shame and guilt Soul whipped Word left to dry and wilt Effort to shine my rusty halo, Imperfection is what I only know Eyes teared, Weeped Feet limping like a city pigeon Crooked, Soaked in false religion Mind sieved into lies Ignorance that caused us to lie 'Caused us to fight, Refusing repentance Wise in our own sight, Rejecting guidance But she wrote an understatement between the lines Message portrayed, I read between the lines A tongue twisting reality, Strings fixed and attached to life lines With the emphasis that life goes on Life a blessing, Its us who go wrong So let the emotions be crucified, Be sanctified 'Cause false acts will soon be denied Copyright 2015
