Be Done

i am angry, dear
but you will look at me perplexed
and you will look at me aroused
and on your guard
you know i am the girl who loves 
i am the girl who could by touch
make you move
and i will be cool
and i will hold you
maybe only with my eyes
but it will be done
and for all my anger
i will show you
no pain
and you will look at me confused
and my will be done
i could maybe move you back the way you've come
my will be done
i have spent this time
so much time
here in agony confused
at the hands of you who hold my heart and took yours from me
my will be done
i will never take my heart when you aren't looking
every day you'll look in hopes
to find it gone but
dear
it will be there
beating hard and bruising those soft hands
not out of spite or revenge
not out of anger
but out of sheer devotion
all the power of my will
to stay 
to remain
stronger than you have a concept of
my will be done
