Description
I fucking hate this...
And like the stupidest of fools
I have to dial up to see
how it is I am doing today
and what you think of me
I see my self all dissected,
a lump of flesh parted and filleted
laid open for the world to see
My life has become an open book
and fame is not a friend to me
when I modem up to have a look
at what you think of me
Feelings are more than written words
and you really stuck a knife in me
You have expressed your thoughts so openly
yet not once wrote the whole story...
Simple sins and confessions
the lies you've told to protect your possessions
Your emotions ebbing to and fro
Your emotions are running out of control
You were there when I needed a friend
Sometimes more than you had a right to be
but you were there with bittersweet deception
and this was received with lukewarm reception
So I acted in a way you never expected of me
I put on a mask and disguised my feelings
to spare you the hurt of my dealings
Hearts and logic don't always meld
and my thoughts and feelings were useless
Your opinions in a higher regard you held
never understanding this union
The mind and spirit don't always need
what you think is so apparent
I am not you and you are not me
and I wish that I could make you see
my feelings don't come and go that easily
This gnawing at my heart and soul
The darkest fears I've felt and borne
Intuitions grown into full blown fears
because of what you felt for me
Manipulations of the heart and mind
have caused this mistrust in what I see
The heartache, pain and misery
brought about by life's company...
Simple sins and confessions
the lies you've told to protect your possessions
Your emotions ebbing to and fro
Your emotions are running out of control
You were there when I needed a friend
Sometimes more than you had a right to be
but you were there with bittersweet deception
and this was received with lukewarm reception
So I acted in a way you never expected of me
I put on a mask and disguised my feelings
to spare you the hurt of my dealings
A bitter end I never wanted
but the half-truths you've told are still flaunted
left out in the open for all to see
And you are wearing your heart on your sleeve
I did what I did to bring about peace
I did what I did to bring about spiritual release
I always wanted our friendship to survive
but it cannot if you cannot abide
by the simple rules of friendship
What would you do
if you were in my shoes?
A question I have to ask of thee
Because a chance not taken is just as bad
as living a life of misery
My heart loves who it loves and without shame
Whether right or wrong there is no one to blame
My feelings for him are strong inside of me
and I really have not sinned, you see
NOT THAT IT'S ANYONE'S BUSINESS
So I beg of you put your opinions aside
Let my heart be, I have committed no crime
My heart loves who it loves and without shame
This is my life not just some stupid game
My feelings are my feelings and I take them personally
and my personal life should be lived
by no one but me...

"Hearts and logic don't always meld" -- Welcome to the human race. Excellent rhythmic work.

Woh. This really brings up some powerful echoes for me. "And like the stupidest of fools/I have to dial up to see/how it is I am doing today" could be an epigram for modern life. Great stuff.

Sheesh - we all lead a life in a thimble. Sounds terribly desparate - I truly hope you can find enjoyment in this all too short journey. The tiniest bit of light at the end of tunnel is always much brighter than we see it.

Thanks everyone for the comments. The poem is about a person whom I thought was a friend. He started delving into my life far more than he should have, considering he's married, and tried to come between the me and the man that I love. This person is no longer in my life so I feel that I can finally tell the story of all the pain, humiliation and suffering that he caused. Thanks, Rich 2...I know the light is brighter at the end of the tunnel, man, I'm there and loving it!!!
