Love Is Making Justice a Game

I don't want to hurt anyone I have to do something with this pain I'm angry in a gentle way smoke was playing in the air I lit a candle with the greatest care as quiet as not being there everything is remembered in hate and love is making justice a game the truth defends any criminal you don't have to see it that way too but I could not find exception to this rule today I'm giving more than I'll forget the blood has dried the hurting hasn't started yet I'm falling down a slide it's getting wet everything is remembered in hate and love is making justice a game memories won't even go halfway I'll curse you and be glad that you came and love is making justice a game and love is making justice a game ____________________________________________ 2nd version. After some brutal editing.

Thanks for the feedback Esther. I find it truly bloated but with something I like. I'll get to work on it and make something of it. That final verse has to go. Lol. Maybe a second. Chop, chop. Thanks Esther.
