a poem i wrote the day of the VA massacre..a little depressing but wanted to share.

[lilione]

What Lies Beneath

 

We live in a world of questionable authority

The wonder lies in how this can be

How easy it is to buy a firearm, where is the alarm

Of what it really means to put blame

The Killer, he is not the only one who holds the gun and the aim

The leaders of this nation seem to have no claim

Why isn’t it seen that there should be stricter laws

Why must there be killing after killing

How many people have to die in these wars

These wars are a result of the incompetence and ignorance

By corrupted leaders who are not able or willing

To accept responsibility in their flaws

All they want you to see is their own applause

And how good they are with the political dance

The concern is with, its me or isn't me and money

People put more value in politics

than what really should be fixed

We are more concerned with the surface

than with what lies beneath

[lilione]

I found your fragrance in the wind I miss

Your love in a soft warming kiss

 

Broken love whispers in the soft

but shattered corners of my mind

I am surrounded with tangled desire that I fought

As I remember your love was painful and unkind

 

I am haunted by this feeling of loss

Why won’t you just go away

You abused me and took my love to toss

Please God listen to me as I pray

 

You said you loved me

How can that be

Love to you was abuse

You always had some sort of excuse

 

In my opinion you do not count as a person

You don’t deserve any kind of life

I wish I had the foresight to see it worsen

I feel like I failed during our strife

 

To everyone you appear like a knight

But when you came home to me all we did was fight

please know you had a second chance

My wish is that you never attain beyond a first glance

Why should you get any kind of life and move on

When I was inflicted with you pain

The feeling I have that you should is something to prove, come-on

When I was the only one that tried to ease your strain

 

All you did was through it back in my face,

you don’t know how to be,

this is becoming so arcane

I need to get to a higher place

Please stop bothering me

 

But how can that be love is supposed to help you gain

I guess you didn’t love me and I failed miserably

I am trying to heal with time and rid myself of this pain

How am I supposed to get over what you did to me
