Why so cynical, Darling?
Hiding that smile of yours.
Lies in this world
seem to wound more
than bullets and swords.
.
Did someone you love betray you?
Coloring your look on the world?
With a bleak derision,
making every decision
between the bad
and the worse.
.
Dull and disheartened,
you’re back where you started
and too scared to start again.
Just waste,
and be wasted,
a future erased,
is better
than living
in the places you’ve been.
.
Open your eyes,
you will see that the sky
is still
blue as it was.
All this hate you’ve created,
the grave that you’re craving
is just waiting for blood.
.
Why so cynical, Darling?
What have you lost
you can’t find?
Keep searching
the outer reaches,
because just sitting here
is leaving you behind.
