why is everyone so afraid
delusions taught from birth
are destroying the earth
irresponsibility
blessed by holy trinity
thank god for human frailty
so you don't have to be
responsible for reality
when you get over yourself
when you get over your fear
when you get over the lies you tell
i'll be here when you get here
i believed in love that reached beyond this life into eternity
and accepted the feeling as the energy of eternal infinity
you can call it what you like but it was everything to me
so real it cut my heart out when it stopped leaving only misery
i don't know how she held her breath so long
i hid in a closet to avoid reality
a crumbling person pretending to be strong
life became a pretentious fantasy
and over the years the hole was never filled
even as it became ancient history
scores of poets lamented and noblemen killed
reaching for a glimpse of the mystery
they called it glory
same old story
sudden whispery
the mind of god
and everything
in love's simplicity
I believed in love that could never end
and then i learned how people can pretend
and then i learned how not to trust a friend
and then i learned how low people descend
to destroy the purity of all they "amen"ed
right up to the betrayal of a best friend
