Painful Words
Truth knocks at the door
quietly he enters
you've heard his voice before
you quiver at the sentence
Those words you cannot say
you choose to write them down
read by a family betrayed
you paint smiles over their frowns
Behind the gentle face
lies darkness disguised
the words leave a sour taste
crooked pictures left behind
Hide yourself from the crowd
who ask awkward questions
when, where and how?
as answers hurt relations
Fear knocks at the door
freezing up your senses
you've seen his face before
in the field of broken fences
