Raven

gifted liar culpable in all that is wrong
my imagination always gives you  the get out of hell card
creating alternate possible scenarios
and they seem real and on point
but down deep the fire has begun

hurting my vulnerability in fact hunting her
because I conceal her so well
keeping your obvious secrets from her watching eyes

when sadness starts pacing inside of me
all of the blue feelings will be alerted
then when they start crying
and throwing their hope inside the wishing well
finally they start to regress into the depths of my soul

then madness comes out and she is unpredictable
she is ready for a war
still,, their is gentleness to consider
and she loves this man

Raven will bide her time
and take the good with the bad
and keep madness from rising
which is no small thing
she stirs I hear her grumbling
