The brokenness of our emotions Keeps me forever in motion Caught in the current of affection Drowned by the spirit of your transgressions Holding tight to my own distorted truth of you Whose love was one I thought through Stabbing in the depths Tossing me off the cliffs Strangling my wounded heart To leave me helpless from this gunshot To use my love as the confidence for another Leaving me to look at your cracked love for this other Bitterness doesn’t paint a pretty picture The stench of this anger has created this creature The beast hides from behind this mask Never living up to its task Scaring the scars of others So it doesn’t have to face it’s true colors The mind of a man had dissipated Into something the author couldn’t even have anticipated Waking up Tears drifted into perspective As the soul became protective Hoping this love became lost within the past Hoping the years have created the illusion at last Of wondering, did I make you up?
