Trying To Love Charlie Chaplin
Time ticks on into the night
A nonchalant, half-hearted fight
Save it for the morning after
Soften the blow of recurring nightmares
As the initial emotion recedes
Love is a battle and everyone bleeds
Impatiently, I wait through the silence
Then try to provoke a passionate violence
Your ignorance poisons my useless veins
Enforces your trustworthy barricade
A solid obstruction that I can't dispute
Words can't compete with a self-imposed mute
