PURPLE RAIN by Ligeia83

Ceaseless Pain-
In my broken Heart-
Ashamed of its own feelings-
Hidden-Secluded-
Too ashamed-
To be out in the Sun-
Like everybody else
I feel nothing but Pain-
I see nothing but You.
Purple Rain-
Burns my skin-
Praying to hear Your voice
Praying that You’d understand-
-No, I don’t want You to-
I only want You
To be here-with me
For a moment-Brief
Just a moment-Short
But I do not see-
Cannot-
Purple Rain blinds me-
My Soul aches
To the beat of a cruel bass-
It shivers in Fear-
My friend-A hypocrite
My friend-The liar
Herr Doktor you say-Not Friend
Wishing only on a Dead Star-
Wishing you’d come down-
From you Olympus
Of fear and Hypocrisy
For I cannot come up-
I cannot-will not-want not
Reach, reach, reach-
Out of reach- you are
Farthest of my dreams
Closer to my Heart-
Wishing I could push You away-
You linger here-
And hurt me-
You do not know-
Your razorblade eyes
You knife-like hands
Your sword-like body
Your sharp words-
You hurt-
It hurts-
Sending pain to me
From the height of your Olympus
Ceaseless-
Unresting-
Don’t you ever sleep?
Don’t you want to rest a bit-
And give me some rest?
Too-
Far, and far, away-
You move farther everyday-
Minute-I should say
Can’t you see the Pain?
Can you feel it?
Sure-You don’t
You do not care.
And this hurts me-
More than you will ever know.
My heart is ashamed
To see nothing but you-
My eyes won’t close
They feel nothing but you.

And you are there
Laughing hysterically at me
From the height
Of your Olympus

Unable
To
Understand
