A Brutal Ignorance

If my heart were hewn of stone, you'd make it beat.

If my skin was of iron, you'd turn my flesh to meat.

If my eyes were full of sorrow, you'd help me see

The wonders of tomorrow and the joys of being free.

I thought I had forgotten; I thought it must be true.

That I had never touched your lips or known the grace of you.

But a quick and gentle glance, was all it took for me

To remember your sweet touch and the bounty of your glee.

The words came spinning back to me, too fast to even count.

I was stunned by their beauty, their starkness, their amount.

They said that you had loved me, in a way that can't be thought

By the imbeciles that wish to buy what they know can't be bought.

I never wished my heart to know the pains it felt for you.

And I never hoped to be so stuck to your infectious glue.

I never wanted to be so trapped in your ever loving embrace.

But now I know I'm the luckiest man in the entire human race.

So why have you forgotten? Tell me how you can ignore

The feelings that I have for you and those I do implore

Are the most sincere in the entire world and cannot be undone

By greatest strength or darkest power, from sword or angry gun.

How can you say you care for me and leave my heart all torn?

How can you think we are just friends, when for you I was born?

How can you wish to keep me away when my love is so vast?

How can you try to give me up when the time for that is past?

There are no answers, only lies that float inside my brain.

I cannot know your hidden mind nor you the depth of my pain.
