My Heart Scored Yet My Love Never Fades

Unnerving silence screams through my mind
The death of a friend, the birth of a brother
Why must the fate of yesterday’s mistakes 
Taunt me and dangle reality in my face
Release your eyes and view the blunders of life
Take comfort in the sweet deceit that befalls you
The forbidden window locked and forgotten
The traces of revenge plotted to reform
Finger the lock, feel the suspense within
Peer through the passageway to things unseen
Entice your mind with unearthly obsessions
Befriend the vices that restrain you now
The sweet smell of rejection fills the air
Seeps from the door extinguishing your fire
All the while whispering with a callused cadence
Yes I love you, but it’s just too hard
To stand in front of you with a sweetly torn heart
