IRE

 

I have no tender words for you today

For ire is building up within me

Against all that is unfair

And you are the one making it flare

 

Go, go away swift

For you cannot for long stay

Don’t linger in my heart overwhelming me

Stalling me adrift, clueless in mid sea

 

Don’t make me wait for a word

Every morn and eve

With high anticipation highly strung

As if my life is only on that hung

 

Blissfully unaware of my plight you are

At peace with yourself and your world

Why then do you unwittingly a magic weave

When some detached care is all you can give

 

Oh go away, let me just live,

Let me feel free of this burden of loving

Which exalts and yet oft pulls me under

And my already tattered life scatters asunder...
