Useless Emotions

Useless Emotions Tied. Tangled. Trapped within a world of judgment and suffocation You want him, do you not? Or is it only the ghost of the past, haunting your waking moments and your restless slumber The question, still unanswered, brings more to mind, the answer a whispering scream. Your swallowed within a blackened sea of self deprivation, and self awareness You know he is the one your heart cries out for, Yet you let your own cowardly repulsion push you away from his outstretched hand Or is it even outstretched? Easily as breathing, he could see past you, ignoring you as you ignore your soul’s desire The identity of who you are That’s what they all do, do they not? Lying. Hiding. It’s the inner cage of turmoil that smothers your fiery desire The fire within your soul burns for his, but finds the message unanswered. Unknown. The key, why it’s always been the truth Fear. Reluctance. It keeps the savagery of raw emotion in check From breaking free from the restraints of society It keeps you filled with blackened rage Useless emotions. Tied. Tangled Life is nothing but a web in lies in which you’ve so intricately ensnared yourself within The circus act you’ve so carefully calculated will come down Tumbling. Crashing. With the slightest motion to set the dominos falling Your life around you will crumble slowly, if you deny this any longer Revelation. Revolt. You claim to be strong, why not prove your weightless words? The suffocating circumstances they encompass you with would disappear, if only Declare your love, put the raw emotions of entrapment to use For it’s only with his fire satiating love you’ll find use for these Useless emotions.
