Strain of Thought

Couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't - did.
It wasn't right, it blew the lid
on all the lies we thought
we hid so well.
How we delude ourselves
believing we control our destiny.
Overwhelmed so easily
by other's states of mind.
Claiming understanding
that is altered
every time we blink our eyes.
Sleeping through the dreams we never found.
Seeking to avoid the pain of feeling
while all around the atmosphere is reeling.
It festers when you're living in the round.
While feeling is what mind is based upon.
Straying from the truth without forgiving
the natural disasters we've become.
Forgetting that we cannot live
without the burning sun.
Hiding under roofs within
preprocessed walls
too weak to hold us in.
Pretending we are beautiful and bold.
Denying that we ever could grow old.
Knowing that we must, the trust is lost.
Collapsing under cover
of the nights that have no end.
Engaged by unknown rage
that we may never understand.
He loved me so.
I didn't know that loving him
would send me round the bend.
There's no return.
The fire burns.
An awesome glee created
yet another round of utter misery.
Whispering of wasted harmony.
Telling me I never would be free
of all the agony
his loving brought to be...
