I'm so saddened when I realize
I cannot be what he needs;
His furious body pleads
"See past my angry eyes!"
His rage is his disguise,
My torn heart simply bleeds;
I'm so saddened when I realize
I cannot be what he needs.
His vengeful way belies
A gentler soul amid the weeds;
A soul that on love feeds
Yet with wrath as his guise;
I'm so saddened when I realize.
Some days are just difficult all around.
Some days are just difficult all around.
Some days are. You said it eloquently.
ReplyDeleteNice job--I love the line, "His vengeful way belies
ReplyDeleteA gentler soul amid the weeds" A reminder that underneath the anger nad hurt lies a child...
