I See You

No longer denied
The demons in your past
Self made, invited in, long known
Trespassers you despise

Cold like old lovers
Deserters that don’t belong
The tangle of decisions that remain
Despite the years between

You got the right to die
Reconcile what’s in your heart
Cause what was has no place to stay

Nothing left to say
But I recognize who you are
So much better then what you were

Wicked as it is
For those who share
Your sin has little to deprive
Strange and bereft

Gotta exorcise
What doesn’t belong
The anomalies you don’t like
Emerging once again

You got the right to die
Reconcile what’s in your heart
Cause what was has no place to stay

Nothing left to say
But I recognize what you are
So much better then what you were

It’s yours and alive
A nightmare held the door
Tragedy sprung and not foreseen
The lair of deceit, tossed

Old wounds settled
Born grim but healed in this
A destroyer learning to create again
Voracious but stronger still
