Naïve Brain - ( Back Stabbed )
For a second there
in my lousy little life
there used to be a someone
who made me smile
and to me
I have this rule
Never to hate someone
That once made me smile
******************
But the feeling is inexplicable
When that specific someone
Put an ice cold dagger in my back
fire burning lava in my throat
When I knew a truth that I shouldn’t have
A truth that shouldn’t exist as a truth
And for a second there
In that little lousy life of mine
With my little naive brain
And my heart blinded by kindness
I thought .. I believed more like it
That this someone
Felt back what I felt
Or ever at least shared a thought
******************
But you I thank
You who stood there at that very moment
To show me the light
Out of a dark night
Of fake hopes and false thoughts
To lead me to shore
In a sea only covered by foggy misery
But I tell that someone
That if good ever returned to bad
What bad did to good
Then you would’ve seen a day
Where good is no better than bad
And smartness is not empty talk
Its not talk at all
But beware what a smart one thinks
Or what he does
and fear him most
*******************
The heart beats for two
For love it beats
And for truth
These are my thoughts
I live by them
They live in me
And if these thoughts
Are dumb
I never want to be smart.
