V.

(Your eyes)
I've read the grief of the world in your eyes
But still you manage to bear a beautiful smile
(I am lost)
When I'm lost inside myself
The light of your face shines on the midnight of my mind
(You are the knife)
You are the knife I cut myself with
And let the bad pour out

Desperate for your touch, but my skin let go
I fell into the depths of your infinite wholeness
And I won't give my heart anew
Until Death itself wears the face of you

You catch the words that I never speak
And suffer the anger that I cannot but breathe
Even when I'm pulling punches you see me get beaten
Allowing conventions to render me meek

And for all the wars I fight with my eyes closed
You dress my wounds while silently suffering yours
You've seen the hide I hide under these clothes
But surmounted your fears and you refuse to let go

Worldly everything is nothing
Everything is you, you are all
But do you really want to see
This anger bled from father to son?
