insinuations –
allegations –
demure unable to find –
a disguise…
i think i saw you –
standing in the shadows
(you say coy,
i scream – callous!).
i think that i could live one hundred years
and never understand,
from whose authority,
your condemnation?
(justification for hate?)
your eyes,
like your mind,
closed tight –
(and try as i might)
your fear will not allow me in-
my good intentions,
useless as the pain your conscience cannot feel!
