You're a fleeting delusion,
growing stale in my mind.
You're the black mass above,
blocking healing rays of light.
Singing the songs of sorrow that you keep.
Hung on the thought that life's climb is steep.
The lies and contempt that lay dormant in your head,
Pale to the rage burning inside my chest.
Deceit left a trail as you funneled through our lives,
Nothing looked the same, you bled the faith from our eyes.
