for all this another breath waits
for worthless pain a whisper stalls
with all calm denial emotion pauses
time's patience ever lasting
...
savaged i've been
by the shame of thruth
hurt buried too deep
for shovels to reveal
...
she looks with glass eyes
my endless depth not apparent
plain is my front
deep is my real
...
love me i'm needy
look opon me i'm vain
peace eludes me
without trace of pain
...
