If I Could Impart

by Unseen Exposure   Aug 20, 2005



If you knew how intensely you've hurt me
It wouldn't make a difference to you
I could scream at you until your ears were numb
But nothing I'd say would get through

I could try to piece together this frayed puzzle
Mixed with watery eyes full of hate
But I think I'd rather burn this story to ashes
And toss your faltered reasons to berate

If you think your words don't disfigure my self image
Then your brain must be charred
I've stood behind these closed doors long enough
To know quite well that you are marred

Mutilated embers lie cold in your dead ravine
The facade seems so ardent
There's so much time I'd be inclined to take back
But past time cannot be repent

You've dismantled the only good part of me
The part that permed me to adore
You've embittered my emotion to feel
For I feel hate, and nothing more

These words could never explicate reality
Seems I've failed at every darnedest
I speak in shriveled sentences too contradicting
No one would understand, even at my best

If such emotions could be forcibly applied
I'd find the strength to impart
But the axiom shall always remain
That I wouldn't know where to start.
