I was soft, a gentle soaker, Taking hate through every pore. Words would burn like red-hot poker, Couldn't bear it any more. Then the truth, it started jelling, Quite transparent, with a sting. Didn't like what folks were selling, When it cut like diamond ring. I will not be thrown off-kilter, Spewing self-defeating slime. I will live through my own filter, Making nacre from the grime.

Gentle, jet black hair Warm eyes always by my side Playful innocence You have shown me love In its purest, cleanest form Unconditional Summer sun is here We return to whence we came There’s no place like home

There is no heart out there you cannot fix, Except your own, with mirrors and with smoke. Your suffering as clock hand slowly ticks Has through your work become a burdened yoke. Your shiny outer image mine reflects Its charismatic luster shows no dust, But underneath that armored intellect Lies emptiness and bitter reddened rust. How tiny one can feel when one is lost To follow others seems the only cure. Attention must be had at any cost. Your hollowness can thus become a lure. The time has come to melt away the blame. You taught me: in the end, we’re all the same.

I flutter over to your place, But then, I’m swiftly chased away. How stiff and stoic is that face Who keeps me hungry, yet at bay. You say you wish you had a brain. Your magnetism’s not enough? Were I but smarter, I’d refrain From catering to only fluff. Please take my feather as a token. Now fully plucked, it’s all I bring. I may not fly when I feel broken, But like an arrow, I still sing. You came to me with Cupid's dart. Now I have found my liberty With quill in hand and strengthened heart, For love defies all gravity.
