Misunderstood

Seduced by fire my heart cries her lust,

yearning this burning within my being.

Taken by the wrath of love unseen,

hypocritical cries of agonizing reality.

Burned by destiny in the heart of fate,

twisted revelation leaving me cold.

Soil of passion pleasing my will to die,

sufficed regret waking up the demons.

Growing roots of a heart broken beating gone,

weeds of fear created in dreams.

Weakness calling mind’s need for more,

shriveled up to be thrown aside.

Wind embracing hellish fantasies,

wings of angels falling to the pain.

Wreaking havoc this chaotic light denies,

doom approaching life facing death.

Tornado of life written by my hands,

bathed in blood meant to be misunderstood.

Water my comfort being home drowning light,

shades of black my purple eyes denied.

Emotional state of mind my heart gives in,

town apart by two, living death this love.

Breathing my hope this world made by trust,

becoming unbecoming understanding myself.
