trust placed in placid eyes
deep and honest lovely
gray in dimming light

in fat-and-happy friends
content in discontent, they
never loved what wasn't burned
by their hand

in blood that once
placed my newly broken face
where void-less eyes leaked
trust through some
cracked glass pane

inside i find self
deception healed wounds
scraping air for
some solid thing

madness creeps
my heartbeat with an
echo inside,
creeping
deafening

i want to die

there's nothing else
all they do is lie
who needs
trust

so let me die
