Leading
Lying
Mendacious ways
A [edited by a moderator] up, falsifying maze
Bleeding
Crying
They spend their days
"These are the ones i love" she says
An open heart
Defence torn down
Screaming spirits conceal their crown
Manipulation is the key
A cruel intent;
Reality
Science proves there is no life without hate or pain or grief or strife
Why do we do these things to hurt?
Why cause more anguish in others hearts?
Empty tears fall from fading eyes
Blindly on streets we left behind
They cry out names one did forget in love or spite, hate or regret
I lead
I lie
And in hearts that reign
I forget myself and cause them pain
I do these things over again
I know I do
I am to blame
I cannot stop hurting those
With open hearts which build up hopes
Is it that I exploit a friend
I know will forgive me in the end?
Or so I think, but don't deserve
Perhaps do not forgive me, then I’ll learn
That granted life and love and ways
In those who know us day by day
Is not something to manipulate
Test and punish 'til its too late
I am past being an imperfection
I consist of constant, cruel incantations

"A momentary lapse of silence catches me unaware
Reminds me that beyond the faces, through judging eyes do stare;
Stands reality in all its glory; not so far away
In a blink of an eye it wanders, alas it did not stay
Now the rain falls
And these tears do just the same
Unfamiliar faces fade
And I try my best to regain
That feeling which overwhelmed me and brought me to my rest
That showed me where my heart belonged
but left me at my best"


I do not wish this feeling to last
I pray for days that go too fast
And this breath of sweet melancholy
Seeps through my veins and comforts me
I do not feel at rest at all
Still I feel, I fly, I fall
They bleed and cry because of me
A wandering, waiting catastrophe

l like, minusme. (l think l've learnt to spell this!) lol. anyway, you've got a great point about the nature of humanity, but don't feel too bad, cause we all do this at one time or another... we have to hurt others sometimes. don't ask me why, cause l don't understand it myself, but...
yeah.
laurie.
