tears are warm behind the eyes
until they trickle coldly upon the face
release this great pain dearest tears
and give me some new hope to gently embrace
promise me some masculine leather to one day soon
lay next to my feminine lace
and bend me to your will for I would do so gladly
and with extreme grace
conquests would be that like nothing
without the initial chase
if love and hate were to be combined into a game
I believe some would aptly title it 'Race'
I haven't found my one sweet true love yet
for I know not where I should linger and look
so many men I once innocently cared for and so
many pieces of me they tempestuously took
shards of past encounters cut me to pieces if I lay
my thoughts upon them too long
I am noticeably narrow minded
I see others' ill deeds towards me yet in myself
back then I seen not my own alarming wrong
someone once made similar grievances into a sad
sweet song
about memories good and bad not always staying where
they belong
to get through this lengthy trial to the mind
such an ugly vision I should quickly discard
to try is admirable for its difficult to forget
mistakes that have left you mentally mutated and
emotionally marred
but there is not one he who lives who is not scarred
so look out for the carriers of pure hate
for those are the ones you had best from, keep
your guard....
