Cracked glass
I lived with you in a world of false reality.
All because I took your hand.
Together we rode upon your broken wings as you swept me away to never ever land.
The glass cracked, and reality bled through.
…….
I opened my eyes, and I was alone… and had been so all along.
Fear, betrayal, bitterness and of course contempt.
These emotions are dark as the night, and they poisoned my soul.
…….
Sick, desperate, and festering with fear I ventured into the depths of hell.
Down beneath the ground, where the flames burn hot, I saw his face.
The devil, like you my dear promised me lies.
With my remaining strength I punched the devil in the face and stabbed him in his darkened heart.
I swore that day to never fall for such temptation again.
…….
Growing up is part of life, some say the most painful part of all.
I want to say it happens to everyone, but that too is a delusion.
Many like I run away to never ever land where youth is eternally sipped from a goblet of false dreams.
There is a price tag for such is insanity so drink it wisely or perhaps it is better not to not indulge at all.
