Don'T Come

Don't come for me, until you see that Me
Nobody knows where anger grows wild.
Child, I've been there fearing the dawn
Thinking the demons won my soul, 
Let it be told I was the hopeless
Copeless, reckless expecting less.
Time cannot grind away the webs 
Hanging hapless threatening to strangle
The swinging dangle of Me.

Don't come for Me...Child until I die.
Don't cry dry tears you knew 
The fears, you were too near
Dear not to hear my wretched soul.
Don't come for Me dismissed
With a kiss, I can't risk the diss
Stance of dancing pain.

Don't EVER come for that Me
You swore you didn't see beyond,
No pun intended as fun.
My laughing to tears were fears of your coming 
For Me was never my destiny.
I was blind, now I see
Your coming, humming your poison
Don't come for Me.
