this road is pebbled with lies and broken mirrors

when trust is retched of black lava

when love is stricken by lightning thunder

when kindness is ruptured in separation

breaking shattering

the glass of purity

when goodness forgotten

when words woven in deceit

when eyes sparkled with hatred

your heart decaying

layer by layer

in dirt and filth

how does a person live?

in constant vengeance

in deep denial

your body a stroke

of evil whispers

breaking people’s hearts

distorting innocence

how does a person live?

wretched in your own skin

compounded in your malicious soul

how does a person live?
