Brought Out

Layers beneath each cover

Within the contortion of smoothed lies

Inured to each cutting smile

A perversion drawn deep and wild

As a broken shard lays seed

From within and through each eye

And within each rising glance

Of faltering cries to the sky

Our hardened forms give birth

To the emptied depth defied

As in a cruel confrontation

We begin to live our lies

.

And detached and forsaken

As a poise of lost intent

Wearied in our actions

And lost through each hidden scent

Of unrepenting scorn

Within each impregnated thought

Blossomed shards bleed through

Each sign severe as it ought,

Ought to have been left

And ought to be despised

But we come round once again

In a full circle upon our lies.
