Double sided
Your presence always accompanied
By the most dreadful momentum
You are gaining speed
You are losing peace
You are giving the lead
To a power that won’t cease
It’s cloaked in impulse
A body of desire
Though intention rests in its holsters
Pride is all it fires
Swirling beauty slow down!
Running too fast for those
Who can recognize to see
And those who can’t to catch
You champion hope by burying action
With action of the wrong kind
This version of hope doesn’t
Liberate, but rather infects the mind
Hope was meant to inspire
Not fuel a pointless fire
You’ve made your conscience a liar
Dragging ideals through the mire
Shadow-kissed
A waste of this
Inverting experiences
You won’t want to reminisce
A romance not worth a single ounce
Of the blood you’ve already lost
Put to death that with which you lay
If only you knew the cost
Why can’t you see the bottom?
