Sorry its a little depressing...

He left me stuttering
For the same words
I had practiced so often
In my mirror at home
For just an encounter as this
Why are they all the same?
Even his dismissals
Beautiful and articulate
While I stutter trying to
Make a simple greeting.
They say it should be easy,
that love, when it happens,
"should flow like the rivers"
They didn't include the part
After he laughs in your face.
What then?
It seems cupid hit me
And missed him...
What luck.
________________
The world...
Clouded by that which
Those who have never known
Life
Cannot see.
Life... not the illusion,
Not the mask that people wear
Day to day
To hide from the
Horrors that plague the streets.
No,
Your masks may hide your faces,
But the world doesn't stop
Hurting because you
Have created a shield
To protect yourselves.
The shadows you live in
Only serve to make the
Light more blinding when
You are forced
Into the daytime,
And I promise it will happen.
Ignorant innocence cannot last forever.
_______________________
Time does not heal all wounds,
The deep cuts you made in me
Are not scars:
Still they bleed.
Scars would be too easy.
A deformation does not carry with it
Constant suffering.
The constant reminders
That you are worthless,
That you are ugly,
That you are sick,
And depraved,
And a "mistake"
Simply the result of shameful debauchery;
The misbegotten child that ruined your mothers life.
It doesn't stop.
It doesn't end.
The people on the street don't cease
To stop,
And stare
Openly
At the "child who is proof
That his mother is damned
To Hell."
I am not what you think I am.
I do not deserve the labels.
But let me tell you this.
You've failed in your attempts,
Because you and your tainted joy
Have not destroyed my will.
Only made it stronger.
