You're not evil
 

Listen to me
take that stake from your heart
you aren't some monster
that deserves to be slain.

You're not evil
no, you're not evil
if you are, we all are
the things we do for love.

It's easy to criticize
and to demonize
when you're an outsider
looking in.

But you aren't evil
no you aren't evil
if you are, we all are
the things we do for love.

They bark at you
like angry dogs
but they'll never scale
the walls of your heart.

You aren't evil
not ever evil
if you are, we all are
the things we do for love.

This one was started a *long* time ago. I was digging through old papers, found this, and started working on it. I'm still not sure if it works, though. I'm so bad at judging my own work. :)

Love should be selfless, but it becomes selfish.
Prying eyes should look upon themselves as opposed to others.
Bleeding hearts won't bleed forever. They'll bleed dry, or they'll heal with scars. Maybe, they'll simply remain unblemished.

We're all alone in the world. But we're all alone together.

It was a good-hearted poem. *Smile. Thumbs up.*
