Painted Devil
Why is it you still come to me
In private like you care?
When a devil you have painted me
To all others aware.
I so tire of your lying...
And the public shame cast.
But even more of your trying
To hang on to something past.
You're public silence is wounding,
So when you come to pet
This bad dawg and I yield a snarl,
Why are you surprised what you get?
I don't want your shadowed decree
Of the love you claim still felt.
Much prefer you just leave me be,
To get over the lies dealt.
Don't get me wrong, I wish you well...
Whatever life may bring you.
May it never return the hell
Granted me for loving you.
I wish you peace, I wish you love,
This painted devil, ever damned!
Just pray somehow you rise above
This need to possess all I am.
