Some Wounds Never Heal

I observe the sway of the grass In moments I'm feeling crass An identity may be found at the rainbow But how would I ever really know Imprisoned by gnarled branches so strong I wonder how it all went so very wrong When I was young I believed in love But now I know affection is cast off like a glove And a heart full of love is destined for hurt It's just another damned thing to subvert I'm so terrified I'm going to go one and done That I can no longer have any fun My face has the pessimist's pallor And in truth I exist without valor Fear made my confidence disappear And to my peers I must seem so very ***** If love truly is so fleeting What was the point of our meeting Memories swell in my heart And each of my feelings is ripped apart When a heart breaks it's not very fair Because you take most of mine without a care And I'm left with just a marginal little thing That no longer has the ability to sing When you're depressed and a man it seems nobody cares And expressed feelings earn you only befuddled stares And now in my heart chamber there is only a casket Having blown my one and only gasket So I just bend down and observe the grass In moments I'm feeling crass
