you contain everything I could hate
but I could not
I would remain and stay in silence
drowned in the shallow sin
I will remember this
shouts or whispers, all the same
all your hates possess my name
tell all the world but not to me
we sell all the words and bow
I see, the end
the curtains down and yet we still stand
in our pride
you’re on the other side
and I’m persistent here
now I will scream
would you hear?
hurl me in this dream
oh your noises swallow me
tell all the world but not to me
those strings of words
petrify me
you contain everything I could hate
but I could not, I could not hate you forever
because love lingers
