idealism is a fraud;
angels don't cut off demons' horns
nor do they make them do so;
trust is built for decades,
it cannot be rebuilt in a month
after its destruction;
sometimes worn out apologies
are slapped band-aids onto wounds;
love is not a combat of logic and emotion,
whoever wins makes the other go;
hearts don't stay hearts,
they turn into things
when their own beats begin to lie;
we live in utopian daydreams,
with only a few, broken but breathing souls
seeing through the seams.

they turn into things
when their own beats begin to lie;
we live in utopian daydreams,
with only a few, broken but breathing souls
