Feelings assigned;
Person resigned;
I plead for release but we are entwined.
The love we once had is no longer outlined.
Hands trapped-
Tied behind my back-
Your insistence and cold grasp has rendered me blind,
     and you never notice.

There are secrets behind these walls,
Like a masquerade dance at the midnight ball.
And when the clock finally strikes, I'm the one who falls,
And you are not sorry or surprised or appalled-
But laugh and joke and send me catcalls.
You mock my pain-
And bring shame to my name-
You feign innocence at the final curtain call,
     and I'm still here.

It appears that time has clouded my mind,
And reason and sense have left me behind.
Because this path I am on is a never-ending circle,
And plays over and over like a terrible commercial.
And hidden behind is a mastermind,
     and it's you, and everything seems fine.

Your lies aren't becoming-
Deception forthcoming-
For empty ears listen not.
To you my fears must mean nothing,
For a rebellion is brewing,
     spewing hurt, pain, anger red hot.

Yet your eyes remain glazed-
Expression unfazed-
Blank face, a mirror of beauty.
My soul's set alight,
     abused, hidden, refused
Ignorance does produce quite a bite.

Waves bumping and brewing-
Churning and queuing-
Against the dam our alliance did build.
Yet it needed but one ****,
Before the river came unlawed,
     and out our ocean's past did spill.

One small drizzle of peace-
Cool, crisp water it released-
A monsoon a single drop did create.
Our overwhelming history,
No longer inciting injury,
     and my rushing, gushing blood pushes past the locked gate.

To be captured, surrounded, enclosed-
To be humiliated, punished, undone-
Become a savage,
Become a stranger,
Seek revenge but receive none.
Fear not pain nor shame nor death;
Reward speed and strength and stealth.
Find the light by night or day-
Revenge is mine, a simple price to pay.
