Your heart demands the cease of love built on the solidity of trust. Your angry will demands a secret be made of the love that engulfed an us. But stranger still, your demands of cold relentless fighting determine more our path has better lighting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am not as tame as you would have me be. I will admit to that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never my words silenced hidden in the same corners you hide truths from yourself in. I'll not stand nose in hands clenched behind me your painted picture of contrition for something I never caused, and finally one day you will answer to all the dreams you are trying to destroy. Never my words silenced and I am not into the art of backing down cringing in the same hiding places that you utilize to fool people with. Never my words never my silence as long as my love speaks louder than the hell you try to create. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trouble comes when you see a girl and fail to see the woman shadow behind her. You don't see me and blindness will only make you trip. I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |

lol..sorry..I've been doing a million and one things tonight, and I wasn't even inspired to write until someone came online and it just inspired this lil dark poem of mine. Apowagize..okies? Will get to the challenge as soon as I can. I have a harder time writing on "demand", so when I do, I want it to be good and well thought out. lol.. I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |
