Brace Yourself For Harms Smile
My day is droning by and by
Filled with love and deceit and brimmed with lies.
Emotions stir,
My mind whirs...
Your tongue is dripping honey
And all of your cunning
Is confusing me. Why do I feel this way?
Your fingertips bleed emotion,
Love and hate, so cold
Yet causing friction and commotion...
Wising I wasn't bound to you
By my childhood chains,
Yet so much good
Comes from this bane.
Your exterior is rough;
And interior calloused;
Is there anything I could do
To stop you from acting with such malice?
Your hand reaches through
Your shield of insecurities,
And your voice rings true-
Your hand brushes mine.
Apologies- not needed, not accepted;
You brace yourself for harms smile.
My day drones on.
