I Don't Understand

I don't understand it
And I never understood it

How vehement disdain can beat in the chest
And how vitriol can dance in the mind with unrest

The cold, blank stares that quickly turn to a fake smile when I turn and our eyes meet
Too late, that crooked smile can't disguise the dark, desolate eyes that bitterly speak

Yes. They speak to me in ways I can no longer ignore
Their frigidity penetrates my warm heart; my heart feels, so it knows how they abhor

Why? But how could this be the reality?
When I thought we were loving friends and family

Fantasy, what a painful fantasy to live
And all because love is what I wanted to receive and give

I never understood it
And never will I understand it
