The Festering of Love Itself

“Wish I could understand this world
Yet, I don’t know if this world
Could understand me”

Under the clouds
Draped black and stormy
Hidden dreams
Too far to ever grasp

Imaginary thoughts transcend
They are all I got
Masking myself invisible
Hiding away
In utter silenced chaos

Ah, This planet, This time
Why am I even here?
Not with the program
Living in fear

Seeing fake smiles
Seizing plastic love
Saying the right words
Till the Predator grabs the Prey

And now romance is raped
Screaming for hope and acceptance

Wish I could help
Tried but shunned away
Shunned away, Always shunned away

To all who have destroyed the tradition of love
Have a great hypocritical Valentines day
Because you seem to revel in it’s greed

Yet, I want someone to prove to me
That love truly exists

For now
Welcome to the festering of love itself!

  1. That's awesome, Jim! Totally how I feel about Valentine's Day too! You had a few great lines there -- "Wish I could understand this world
    Yet, I don’t know if this world
    Could understand me" and "To all who have destroyed the tradition of love
    Have a great hypocritical Valentines day
    Because you seem to revel in it’s greed"

    Love it!
