Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
Don't Need the Hassle
I know I cannot cope with you You lied to me and laughed I see a shattered demon in the dust. I steeled my gaze & knit my brow And swore you don't exist Because I lost the words for love & trust. If you would tell me What I want If I could sell you me The pains you're feeling I feel too And we are singing in a mismatched harmony. I've said I don't need anyone Because you lied to me and laughed Is this what we need to end the fight I looked away and shut my mind No care to blight my world And won't it be a pity if I'm right.
