Abstract Emotions
Rainbows Never Cast sitting in silence
back against the wall
staring at the ceiling
futility in all

hoping i'll remember
praying i'll forget
memories i cherish
in the silence as i sit

shadows in the darkness
pain of the past
all that i remember
rainbows never cast
a shield of difiance
protects the part that's me
protecting all my secrets
not for everyone to see

early on I realized
to trust is to be betrayed
so I hide behind my barriers
as to keep others out
but praying someone will reach me
before I'm consumed by doubt

emotions are that precious
but anger, I don't protect
unless someone cares enough
and rides the barriers through
who I am, is never visible
no one has a clue

Secrets
Nightmares lying awake in shadows
bombarded by memories
images of nightmares
thought of who I am
everything that's shaped me
in this physical land

emotions are the enemy
feeling is crime
for as long as I remember
love has anything but time
