Shattered Illusions
January 29, 2014
Illusions
Revealed in shards of glass,
The remains of a once truthful mirror
That had yet to allow a lie escape,
Doomed to meet a bitter fate.
A wilting rose,
The winter’s frost having already taken its toll
A dull moon in a sea of radiant orbs,
Shrouded by clouds of deception.
An outsider
Drowning in the immeasurable depths of time and space.
Leather boots shatter the ground,
Tears lick at soft skin,
Walls of anguish block her path.
She runs away from the tendrils of the past,
Trapped in the relentless jaws of a Secret.
