Don't try to placate me..

with self-serving statements
of hollow forgiveness.

I need the whole of it,
the covering offered
acceptance proffered,
the erasure of my fate.

Do you think
   I can't read the hate,

between the lines
so oddly defined
with words that don't fit
that just don't sit
       right,
with the rest of the diatribe.

Like some half-assed hurried bribe
hoping for confession
yes, your obsession...

is to hear my life played out
to play upon my doubt
until hysteria I have reached.

The walls of sanity now are breached
so get thee hence,
       over the fence
and leave me to myself.

I want life back on the shelf.

"...so get thee hence, over the fence!"--One of the best euphemisms I've had the pleasure of reading--and will undoubtedly have the pleasure of spouting to someone someday! LOL

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~
