guilty
the night may have
a thousand eyes
all i need is one
and it can see
right through you
to the damage you have done ...
so tuck it in and hide away
if you think it'll
save your shame
but i can see
right through you
things will never be the same.
at times i've felt
i had no choice
but to listen to your lies
i can see so
clearly now
why do you seem surprised?
time has not been
kind to you
but now that i am wise
the layers fade to
shades of blue
and i see through your disguise ...
the night may have

and it can see
right through you
to the damage you have done ...
so tuck it in and hide away
if you think it'll
save your shame
but i can see
right through you
things will never be the same.

Hi, new to the site so I read
Hi, new to the site so I read a few of your pieces .. the ones I read seem to be a sort of expulsion of pain .. a cleansing of hurt. I can relate as many of my pieces are just that for me as well ... I don't completely subscribe to the "you have to live it to write it" theory of good poetry but I can say rather confidently that you have lived with a great deal of pain ... it will never go away but you can make it tolerably by writing .. great stuff
Thank you - very much - for
Thank you - very much - for taking the time to read, and moreso for taking your time to respond. I think that a person can most definitely "train" themselves to write in any way they please, but it takes someone with a writer's soul to be able to see the story.
Pain is lessened, to a big degree, by writing about it. Thank you for really "seeing" the story.
