Why must pain be public?
Why must we tarnish beautiful words with scorn?
Words are so beautiful yet you ugly them with your pettyness.
This is a soul that needs healing, a soul that is in pain.
A soul that knows little happiness.
You know happiness.
You rub it in, in every way.
Why must you be so juvenile?
You have won the prize.
Isn't that enough?
I can only pray that you can be all she needs from you
For it is in that soul that you tarnish with your words
that I have found a reason to learn to give.

Do we really know who a person is?
You claim you know who she is inside.
If this is true, why can't your feelings you hide?
feelings can be felt they need not be spoken aloud for all to hear
If love is true then no words need spoken.
A friend to many chased away cause you feel the need
Love should bring happiness.
Harmony is what we should all strive for.

I'm sure we've all known a few people like that....it's best to get as much distance between them and you as possible. They are nothing but trouble.

indeed. . . well spoken. . .

and yes, sometimes, some people just want more. . . when they've already won. . .
