Hurt by lies spoken held
under sheets


filled with deceit now a painful memory

soon sealed with a heartless kiss


 



put beneath the rubble


 

in search of such truth once thought found

 


 


 

Broken by loss left
behind


searching where right turned wrong

a love tainted by the unwilling touch

that had once graced thy brow


 

 


 

yet again

 


 


 

Soon discovered the
broken heart


left aside next to a self conviction

within grasp of the ungrateful



lacking another’s trust again

bound by last nights dream



words set in stone


 

 


 


 

Passed away by nights
dream


pondering a love given away

 


 


 

imprisoned by the imposition

 


 


fighting what is now slaughtering

me alive desecrating me from within

 


 


 

Hurt by lies unspoken


 

its
truth will never mend me


gorged by a ruthless tongue



ensured with a cruel duplicity

put beneath the ruins seeking

a love true certain


 



once found but soon lost

 


 


 

Broken by soulless
perdition


left to chase the feelings again



a love scorned by the embrace

that had once grazed thy hand

in this very moment of need

 


 


 

Taken away by a nights
dream


pondering the heartless memory

left to entertain the weak and broken


 



Taken by the nights demise

pondering a love placed within trusted

hands

 


 


 

Left to shower upon my

frail body


 

too weak to feel the storm hovering above


 



a selfless obstruction shattering below

crawling on fragmented hate and lust driven

blood running thin with tears being shed

 


 


 

Taken away by a nights
dream

pondering a love given away
 
now set in stone


 


 


 

 



 

Broken by perdition


 

imprisoned by its imposition
