From pretty lips such ugly words
so filled with spite are seldom heard,
but deep inside I know they are
designed to shield a fragile heart,
to drive me further from your charms -
you hope to shelter me from harm.

I'd rather live in pain with you
than in a numbing bliss untrue.

Such poetry from such sweet lips
outshines the most dramatic script.
An arrow from one person can be sweeter than a bounty from another.

I love the way the words flow, first of all. Secondly, the meaning is steadfast and very true. You write beautiful words.
