Dare

I am lost in your words
but I dare not reach out
I dare not offer solace or comfort
how dare I try
to fill in any sort of void
how dare I
for I am the betrayer of hopes and dreams
how many warped perceptions
and misconceptions
have I allowed to cloud
the relationships I get into
how many dreams have I crushed
all the promises I left to rust
look at them all
how dare I dare
how can I care
yes I am an inhuman monster
locked within these walls
where I can't reach out and hurt any one
for I am that greatest of all unspeakable horrors
the wrong turns and twists
make people slit their wrists
over my insensitivity
The road to hell looms before me
I always thought it would be straight
instead I find that like all the choices we make
it has many forks
many curves and turns
the better to burn
They will ask me how dared I do
the things I've done when I reach the end
to face what judgement comes
I will tell them the truth
though no one will really belive my words
"I was only trying to help....."
I always started out with the best of intentions
the end task was never the atrocities I wound up making
It looks like this road to hell truley is paved with good intentions
