Maddening Disdain

And it came again, like tears for a long lost friend

Tears that find their rest

Amidst words too sordid to comprehend

And it came bearing gifts

Of pain, frankincense, and her

None had a home here, none but the pain

Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger

My heart was whole with you

But the pain was mine, come twisted flowers

Come blistered soul, torturing disdain

And the wholeness that is only found in you

Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger

My heart was whole with you

But the pain was mine

And it came bearing gifts

Of pain, frankincense, and her

None had a home here, none but the pain

And it left once, alone amidst my words I stood

Uninviting of its presence, this time it's left for good

Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger

My heart was whole with you

But the pain was mine, come twisted flowers

Come blistered soul, torturing disdain

And the wholeness that is only found in you

Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger

My heart was whole with you

But the pain was mine

And when it's gone forever, a better hand is dealt

And when it's left forever, I then can find myself
