    WE REFUSE 2 BE

    How we came 2 be

    I, interested in the love of you

    your lovers curiosity

    Utopia by love's demand

    saturated by untruths

    manipulated by a manic man

     

    Hurt can never intensify

    unless tears remain falling

    from a lover's eyes

    caught in a tempest

    who can deny

    the bridges burned

    when love begins 2 cry

     

    Simple 2 those who perceive

    a love once full of life

    now hopelessly bereaved

    what I intended 2 be

    perceptions from a mind once profound

    now mired in webs of insanity

     

    MIRRORS OF CONFLICTED SOULS

    REVEAL IMAGES WE REFUSE 2 SEE

    WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

    WHO WE REFUSE 2 BE

     

    Mornings we forsake

    such is love's fate

    when Houses of the Holy

    are built on land prone 2 quakes

    exasperation

    4 goodness sake

    wish I could give you more

    but fate

    left nothing 2 take

     

    Over rainbows we once wished

    ignoring the downpours

    from demonic outpours

    our pores

    now resist

    the morning mist

     

    Tears drying before

    they caress our faces

    love torn by jealousy

    and other petty

    disgraces

     

    MIRRORS OF CONFLICTED SOULS

    REVEAL IMAGES WE REFUSE 2 SEE

    WHAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN

    WHO WE REFUSE 2 BE

     

    Taught 2 learn life's lessons well

    fully prepared 4 the inevitable burns

    when escaping our personal hell

    blisters begin 2 swell

    no one there 2 soothe our pain

    2 ashamed 2 tell

     

    I'll see you

    on the dark side of the moon

    hopefully

    our communication will one day resume

    roses once in bloom

    now shredded and left 2 die

    by the dog days of an August afternoon

     

    MIRRORS OF CONFLICTED SOULS

    REVEAL IMAGES WE REFUSE 2 SEE

    WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

    WHO WE REFUSE 2 BE
