A burst of anger.
Clenched jaw and tense fist.
You put your whole world in danger,
To fill your moment with bliss.

I've never noticed the flicker in your eyes.
The flash of life before you black out.
I've never seen tears but i know you cry.
And Scream. Punch. Kick. Shout.

I ask why and you say I wouldn't understand.
Please stop living your life in denial and secrets.
If I didn't care or want to know, would I have reached out my hand?
What good is it to feel the pain and keep it?

Remember when you hugged me and said it gets better?
At that moment it was something I couldn't believe.
That night I watched as my palms became redder,
And I saw the stress it relieved.

But I had to stop so I wouldn't lose you.
You are my muse and you don't even know.
And when my heart is heavy and there's no one to go to,
Your voice brings me up from my low.

So don't clench your fist in your burst of anger.
Rather, open up your palm.
Stop putting your world in danger.
We'll be each other's Gilead Balm.
