Transparency

How transparent you are!
You lie, you say you’ll try, you cry-
It never changes; I die inside.

I can’t hide the truth for more-
I can’t vanquish my hurt, my pain…
I can’t make you stop, killing me.

The room spins, the darkness closes in-
I go blank, solemn the blood on my face…
You may have hurt me for the last; I die inside.

I can’t hide the truth for more-
I can’t wash my blood, the crimson away…
I can’t make you stop, killing me.

How transparent you’ve become!
I’m locked into your Hell, now I know;
I see what you see in me:
Your weakness, your need, your Hate!
I don’t hate you for what you do, who you’ve become;
Your hate for yourself is my dismal undoing.

I have lingered too long…
I have reached my bed; six feet shallow-
It is dark here, more leaden than you-
Why is it you have left me to myself?
