Layers in Lies
Layers of lies formed patterns on a once inviting canvas called "Life"
Created ripples of contrasting dreams vs nightmares up against ventures in spectacles of make belief
Visions none could believe
Bathing the horizons in dark thoughts
Holding ourselves back from the inevitable Holding on to the splintered remains of what was once a heart that beat with life.
Now it bears the weights of sacrifice
The soul hangs on a ledge Tangled in thorns Melancholy drapes on the shoulders this pain is painted with razor strokes
What was once home to a vision of future dreams in a prism of endless dimensions, now buried between cracked pillars and disintegrated efforts Beauty sapped from the roots
Ruins in all its glory
Rhythms still sound aloud but now with a different beat
Reasons may have been aplenty
But none would hold the weights stewed in betrayal
Maybe...perhaps the sun will still rise tomorrow
And the ray's will course through the fields snaking its way across the land
Yet I still don't know
How much of me will still bear the strength to bloom
About this poem
This piece is a depiction of how layers of lies once set in, to anything that's meaningful...the fate that lies ahead and how broken and twisted a persons existence can become from the pain that's been bled
