Emotional Eruptions
every time i think
we are cool
you say the meanest things
you make my cry out
in classic blues
of a busted heart
you must know and time
my change of attitude
when you are nice to me
with a drop of nastiness
to make me aware
of your long standing
resentment you disguised
so well in you peace offerings
oh you are so clever
waiting for me to complain
about things you know i hate
while pretending to be unaware
of things i find annoying
but that's okay
i'll keep it to myself
pretend i didn't notice
as you push buttons
just to get a rise out of me
it didn't work this time
my time has been set
sustaining blows
from your tongue, sharp
as a two edge sword
has me wondering
if this is all life has to offer
in love and war
straight forward into the core
of my heart
still seeping blood
from your last blow
I'm pinned to the wall
in this prison
you have carved for me
the moment my feet
hit the sand
rising from the raging
sea of emotions
you create in me
to destroy my happiness
and sap my joy
has begun to swallow
me whole
here you come again and again
with the those big feet
staring me in the face
just before i'm slam backyard
into another wave of tsunami
like emotions
stay away from me
can you at least allow my heart
to recuperate
for a least a moment
from the earthquakes
shifting in my bones
give me just a moment of peace
from the red hot lava
boiling in my veins
I'm trying hard not to erupt
spewing nasty magna
all over your face
then watching
you melt like the wicked witch
from the wizard of oz
it does me no good
to act like a fool
while you act like
a victim of circumstance
attempting to blind
the eyes and minds
of outsiders
wondering saying
what?
