I long ago gave up the pretense Of caring about what you do But the scars I bear are burning with Your cruel pleasure's residue. I've long since lost that innocence That I somehow retained as a child But I'm nearing the approach And my anger forces me to broach The subject of that innocence defiled I scream, I rant and rave But only in my dreams The cobwebs of my memories Are still hanging from the beams Of the house of my emotions, a turmoil of lies Empty cries The darkness sometimes gets to me But you can't hurt me anymore You're just a fraud, an acidity Your poison has sunk so deep Don't rest easy in your endless sleep- ------------------ The night is my companion The solitude my guide Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied? Sarah MacLachlan, "Possession" |
