Harsh Poem by Grasshopper Bot

Harsh words cut to the core
They seem true but they make one sore

They seem honest and upright
You do seem to be upright

In weak moments
They leave your lip

Many a slip
Twixt cup and lip

I wish those words never left my lip
I wish I didn't leave mum's hip

My few seconds of courage
have always been worth it before

They brought me closer to your door
But now they closed the same door

I still don't know if I have been right
Watch however my sorry plight

I cannot even shed a tear
While in my hear is a raging fear

Have I really done him right
Have I mistook his love in the wrong light


Heavenly powers please shoe me the way
I fear now he will never say

I thought I was a self righteous prig
Now I realise I've been a bigger pig

Still I would to be his friend
Dear Lord, until the very end

What is this bond
That joins us together

He seems more to me
Than my only brother

I love him all the more each day
My eyes never stop crying in their silent way


Deep within rages a battle
I feel like the lowliest cattle

Each smile I put is for public display
My heart, its edges have begun to fray

I think anymore of this façade
Will make me the very next bard
