What is Inside

I see shallow people more and more each day…
You’ll ask, “How often?” – “Always”, I’ll say.
I tried to change them, failed in every way,
Now all that’s left is bite – what else for me?

“Can’t change them? Guide! Give it one more try!”
“With what? With words? With deeds? With tales once told?”
“You never really tried – that’s why!”
“I did – burned out, left empty and cold.”

“Then seek the others – those who fell with grace
For those they loved, in honor to the end!”
“I haven’t found them – still I search all space,
Yet deep inside I know: love took my hand.”

“You cannot love – forget those feelings high!”
“In my game of arts, no more than bare desire.”
“You crushed those feelings – now I see why!”
“No – they remain: an honor to the pyre,
To feelings – pain, forever in the fire.”
