An Understatement
She threw an understatement where my thoughts lingered
Words hiding beneath the shadow of reason,
Triggered
Thoughts sinking in portrayed reality
Silently in a raging mind
As she sips drunk from the bottle of poetry
Excuses masking the face of her true mind
With such an intense blindness
Her love being my weakness
The past blinded us
As we try to put it behind us
Though she never forgot about us
The past threw us into the pits of guilt and blame
Provoked my words so I can speak
The truth she wrote in letters for me to seek
In rain,
In pain,
And in shame
She threw an understatement where thoughts strolled down the isle of reality
Enticing my ear drums with words of reality
A plea to pick up where we left off
Where words never ceased to intertwine with thoughts of,
Textured morality,
Blueprint of sin,
Gene filled iniquity
My faults I have not seen
Word-spoken into blasphemy
And mouth-spoken into tragedy
A product of change,
Sole-minded to purity
A dream for both of us to age
She threw an understatement where thoughts knocked on suicide doors
Wings withered and clipped
Imperfection,
Judgment its yours
Heart shuttered,
Bled and ripped
Iniquity,shame and guilt
Soul whipped
Word left to dry and wilt
Effort to shine my rusty halo,
Imperfection is what I only know
Eyes teared,
Weeped
Feet limping like a city pigeon
Crooked,
Soaked in false religion
Mind sieved into lies
Ignorance that caused us to lie
'Caused us to fight,
Refusing repentance
Wise in our own sight,
Rejecting guidance
But she wrote an understatement between the lines
Message portrayed,
I read between the lines
A tongue twisting reality,
Strings fixed and attached to life lines
With the emphasis that life goes on
Life a blessing,
Its us who go wrong
So let the emotions be crucified,
Be sanctified
'Cause false acts will soon be denied
