Throwing Stones -

And there was disapproval;

it shone in your eyes

A silent contempt your voice struggled to disguise

Deceitful;

our backs displayed for you-stab away

I’ve looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses

Four unforgiving years that I won’t soon get back from you

Not one regret now from you…

And we were penitent though at heart we still believed

Confining, compliant clay molded in your scheme

Defenseless;

blinded, betrayed by you-stab away

I’ve looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses

Four unforgiving years that I won’t soon get back from you

Not one regret now from you…

Underhanded, spiteful, vindictive, calculated

Genuflect for her son and become what you hated

I have worshipped every God I ever knew

Every stone I ever threw into your empty well-

And I heard the echoes and what they said to me

Was mine alone and so…

I’ve looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses

Four unforgiving years that I won’t soon get back from you

Not one regret now from you…

Underhanded, spiteful, vindictive, calculated

Genuflect for her son and become what you hated
