I Wish I Could Help

Folder: 
My Love

I catch your eye
Across the room;
I see you want to cry.
I cannot help
But feel that I
Have caused this deep inside.

It never was
my intent
to make you want to die.
Who knew
that all of this
could come from one small lie?

There was a time
so long ago
when you thought that you could fly.
But now my lie
has broke your wings
and made you want to cry.

Your freedom's gone
so is your song
but malice ne'er had I.
So I'll break my wings
to give to you
so once more you can fly.

This poem I wrote in about 2 minutes.... just practicing rhyming at first, but it led to so much more. Enjoy

I can relate to the oppressor

I can relate to the oppressor easily...... but from the guilt of that I've felt like the oppressed as well before. lol. I guess it's a circle.
