Hatred

A heart made of glass
A piercing stare with the chill of ice
Discomfort permeates
Surrounded by walls

Words fall linked like chains
Binding and twisting
Ensnaring the innocent
Agonizing the haunted

Chisel man out of stone
Only to be broken to the bone
For it is a sin to feel
A curse to love

Born to be silent
His tears is the blood he sheds
And hatred
Is what gives him strength
