Made You Smile


Do you know how it is to embrace self-respect?
Is there no shame for the blame that you never accept?
Why must you pretend to befriend everyone?
Do you feel remorse or repent for the things you have done?
Corrupted by an empty threat
I feel I’m left with no place left to go
A fatality of morality leaves nothing for my spirits to show for
Consequently it’s too late to contemplate
the depth of my devotion
No customary dialect could resurrect
these complicated emotions
I know what you want
And I know how you feel
But what you want
Was never real
I know just what you want
But I don’t care how much you feel
Because what you want
What you want was never real
