Sometimes You Just Wish It Wouldn't (a song by me)

Sometimes You Just Wish It Wouldn't
bu J. Stratton July, 2005

Sometimes you look into the black night
Peering into the cold
Cold why is it cold
No it is not cold
Cold is what we think we feel when we touch
When we seek
And are denied
So we feel cold rage
Biting against the shame
Rushing against the frustration

Sometimes you look into the black night
Escape is the plan
Or maybe this time it is to hide
And there are those who go to play
Playing to dare to touch
When we seek
And are immersed
So we feel the playing leer
Stroking the immense shame
Gorging the frustration

Sometimes you look into the black night
Warm flush trickles down
Starting with the eyes as they seek
Flowing down the body like a flame cleansing
Cleansing what we feel when we touch
When we seek
And are accepted
So we feel cleansing relief
Coating over the shame
Masking the frustration

Frustration will survive forever
Shame its bastard sister
For a brief moment we understand
And it hurts
When we seek
Understanding of the need to eradicate the emotional touch
Desperate to understand
Making us fall over the edge
Wishing that
Sometimes the black night would look into you
