Goodwill Haunting Hope
Twilight dawning eyes open
as the heather bleat sings
Into the coming night's dream
Crickets ticking away in the long grass
swaying thoughts drunken sailor sails
time stands still for a moment peace
Falsely promises defaced
As meaningless flowers wither
Where inside silence hides the guiding truth
Behind a mask consumed
cowering away seeds
Crocodile tears
Planted inside another's hurt
falls guilty within the pain
that kisses the burning fire
Where everything is twisted ill to suit
Dressed up as something real
where caring becomes the least important gesture
It's here where the barriers fall shut
Sharing stops when condemning bites with hate filled ideas
Communication dies away were hidden agendas lay
A bridge over troubled waters
to cross this divide rocky desert winds howl
Storm in a teacup stirring
That someone created friction
for no good reason or another
clouds descend heavy laden
To feel good
about themselves
hurting another love
They become the stepping stone
unto pain inflicted grief
Reflections ripple casting shadows of doubt over
