Our Great Deceiver - Nehemiah

Masked by a fallacious face

Torn between abiding facades

Screams have subsided and collapsed

Beneath the buried layers of the treacherous seas

A cure nowhere in sight

Enduring decades of defilement

The bonds of devotion come crashing down

With a fabricated grin, wallowing with pride

Hidden hypocrisy.

dwindling sincerity

Both laced with abhorrence and

Dishonesty — each laced with filth

Weakened bones fell victim at the hands

Of the spoiled affection that began

Closely examine as no shards of truth spill

From the two-faced words of the ill

The rotting stench is universal and consumes all clarity

Open your desecrated, diluted chest

Dissect the wounds from yourself and let them drain

Pulling myself apart for no reason as you wither away

Scratch out your eyes

That were not meant to see this way
