subterfuge

By boundandfallen

i do not write of suiside
i do not write of pain
i do not cry at funerals
i do not show my shame

i do not want a lover who
will share with me all his mind
i do not want a kind of friend
who'd be with me for all time

i do not want to disturb you
i do not want to scream
i do not want to cut my skin
i do not want to beleive

i will not share my sympathy
i will not share my moods
i will not share my state of mind
i will not ever love you.

    this piece is intriguing because so often people express that they want to do the things you say here that you will not and do not do...nicely done

    This was great. Stellar rhythem. I was really drawn in by the sheer rolling beat of the whole thing. And the content was excellent. Nice.
