Do you think you know me?
Do you want to?
The tough thick skin you soften with your touch
Hides only something far penetrate.
You move in me and melt ice
but only a little.
The wall that surrounds the truth
Is thick and well built many years before you.
The truth is hidden behind my indifference
The feeling muted by the numbness
If only I could be who I was
Before many trampled through the courtyard
Leaving behind only ruin and decay
A place that was filled with the light of love and hope
Now shadowed behind the great wall
All inside is dying
The screaming from behind the wall is deafening
As the girl who loves screams to be released
Begs to be allowed to love
But she remains trapped behind the wall forever
She who is not afraid to love with her entire soul
Who longs to be loved and dreams the pinkest of lovely dreams
Laughing I quiet her pleading
For I know the truth
To love is to invite only misery
The only good she has is hidden behind that wall
And it is the only part that deserves protecting
Let them come and trample her body
Her heart will remain intact
'DEVIL....... EGGS'
Love your 'relatives' but...invite only the good eggs!
The strands that hold my heart
Wither with all time spiral of smoke
In thy dense foggy village hut
My sweet soul is all soot coated
Someone has to lend it a white robe
that which has no cobweb mosaic
For the serenade of the winds invites
it to a wild party...
There is a crescendo of hooting
amid excruciating incessant looting
of the treasures of happiness
The pods of the hurt heart
may forever abide in thy hut
for the World party is invite-only.
