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!
