Trying To Love Charlie Chaplin

Time ticks on into the night A nonchalant, half-hearted fight Save it for the morning after Soften the blow of recurring nightmares As the initial emotion recedes Love is a battle and everyone bleeds Impatiently, I wait through the silence Then try to provoke a passionate violence Your ignorance poisons my useless veins Enforces your trustworthy barricade A solid obstruction that I can't dispute Words can't compete with a self-imposed mute
