I see you trash
in insult and threat
a wounded bull
with a bleeding heart
 
and I don't know why 
for I dare not ask
 
I feel you rage
tense human bomb
of trapped anger
ready to explode
 
and I don't understand 
but I feel the pain
 
I fear you then
lost in emotion so foreign
that freezes my soul
wanting to touch you
 
and I don't know how
so I turn away
 
I know you are good inside
rough but honest to the core
loyal, lonely and vunerable
ready to give your all
 
but my mind takes over
to shut my heart
 
I despair then helpless
and watch our great divide
for in hate you are gone
and a stranger left behind
 
and that is how I could love you
and that is why I could not stay
