Response To the New and Old
You write of loneliness
Anger
And fear
You look of pain
And truth
So clear
You claim for shaking
Quaking
Neutrality
And its ecstasy
You claim
Is the fearless one behind the pain
When I’ve seen
Through ties of woe
Its you who lacks
The fear
Truly possible you hide
Through paintings strewn through the tide
You put on shows
And masks
Some comedic
And others tragic
But still your stronger
Remove my sleeves
And truth be seen
More like a zebra
Of red and white
I hate them
So they control
I love them
Though they have no soul
And you
The soulful love
The first
The last
The truly one
And you pretend
That your unshown
But you know that
confusion
rarely walks alone
there’s me
you see
I love you
But your loving eyes betray
My heavy feeling
You seem to stray
To others
Lovers
Haters
Scumbags
This time a year
Like the last
That one who left you for a friend
You keep
You hide
From past reserves
You keep from me
And don’t let me show
My love
My soul
