2010
3rd in the 'Word Express 2010' competition
Oh hate, oh hate, oh how you taunt.
My love before my eyes you flaunt,
As if you wish to cause me pain,
And break my heart in two again.
Oh lies, oh lies, oh how you grow.
My soul before the world you show,
As if the world deserves to see,
The quiet, hidden parts of me.
Oh life, oh life, oh how you end.
My heart before it dies you mend,
As if to mock my last attempt,
To free myself from my contempt.
Oh death, oh death, oh how you laugh.
My breath before it fades you half,
As if to try to keep me here,
But you have failed, or so I fear.
