Merciless Ignorance

Merciless ignorance

just as simple as a walk away

as simple as innocence

with a little more moral decay

You amazing creature

once revealing,

now concealing

has it been that bad all along?

how you lie with a simple response

(there's nothing I love more

than getting close enough 

for lies)

lies?  oh no. . .

maybe you just picked up my trick

I warned you -

you persisted -

hurts, doesn't it?

how could I possibly say I don't need this?

you dream sleepily

you'll be here tomorrow

and the next day

and the next

I'll be gone tomorrow

and why console 

a lonely soul?

I'll move on to paradise

congratulations to yet another bad memory

I want to hate you, hate you

did I really do this to you?

what did I make you think?

SAY IT, GODDAMMIT

your silence is a lie

deep in the night

you're mercilessly innocent. . .

ignorant. . .
