"To Pick Up A Rose, You Ask Your Hands To Bleed" copyright Clyde Caldwell

I Want It Back

The human heart feels things
That the eyes cannot see,
And knows what the mind cannot understand.

And yet those tangled webs you weave
Have meddled with my heart,
Leaving me completely blind,
Ignorant and confused. Helpless!

I don't deserve such a prize as this.
Therefore, I give to you this great
Emptiness, that misery brings.
You may find happiness dwelling
There for all eternity.

Fiesty
