How I tamed the tiger

Aa Harvey

How I tamed the tiger

 

 

How I tamed the tiger that burns inside of me.

It was not a conscience quest to change,

Life just ripped it out for all to see.

I have only emptiness inside my chest

And all that is left to wait for is death.

This is my only recognizable form,

For human being has never been my norm.

 

 

I just don’t understand people.

I only know of loss and evil.

Those who claim to love, but don’t.

I could fall in love, but only if I helped them cheat and ignored my soul;

So I won’t.

 

 

Alone I remain, wishing for flames,

To once more spark inside my heart,

But the ignition switch is broken, like my art.

All is dark where light should be;

There is a tiny light which exists inside of me.

 

 

I cannot laugh at comedy, because I am so tragic.

I no longer believe in cupid’s magic.

I only believe in the inevitability of the end;

Happiness stolen by ex-girlfriends.

Take one soul, have an affair,

Repeat process without a care.

 

Love is stood over there,

And I am silent, unmoving, uncaring, and she is unaware.
