Everlasting Evil

Everlasting Evil

Hidden in you.

The only one who can see it is me;

Only I know the truth.

You have everyone deceived—

You lie and cheat,

You control and manipulate,

You are filled with so much hate. 

Hate and hurt—

You don’t see it in you,

But I do.

I see it deep in you.

The hurt and hate that

Causes your everlasting, evil,

Cold and dead

Soul

You hide it and smile

But, not in a smile to hide the pain

A smile to cause pain

Pain in me

Only I can see it in you

Because I’m the only one

You want to see in pain

Even when I beg you to stop.

You are hurt and it makes you hateful

You try to change me because

You don’t want to see the real you

You only want me to see

And you want me to be

Just as hurt and hateful as you

But why? What good will that do?

Worse for me, and nothing for you.

I kneel at the feet of a peaceful prophet,

I hope for healing everywhere,

Butterflies land freely in my sweet hair,

If someone comes, I even offer my chair.

So, like green ivy you spread your hurt and hate

Your heart remains as cold as an arctic storm

Just like your anger that stirs and stirs

And hails terror on my own

You are hurt

It makes you hateful

Towards me and I am

The only one who can see

You are

Everlasting evil.
