Calamity

Fool me once; shame on You

Fool me twice shame on me

I took my instincts for granted

Now ever after I live unhappily

Stained with cantankerous lies

Cured, bound, hung upside down awaiting truth

One hand washes the other

I wish that was enough to cleanse you and the horrid things that you do

Yet you remain completely filthy

Unable willing to live in genuineness verses deceptive

Multi universe receptive

Metaphysically rejected

Carrying the burden

Emptying my spiritual well

Trenches are carved preparing

The lines have been drawn

There is no peace without war

And everybody knows War is Hell

Yet necessary in order to restore the balance

Too often tipped by the undeservingly untalented

Lawless boundless weightless

Guarded valiantly gated

Would have been grand had you cooperated

Unbeknownst to me

There were thorns I couldn't see

Exsanguinated my existence hastily

The road home is Jagged and barren

The Obstacles formed by your love

Rip me apart soul tattered hopelessly scattered

I am the scapegoat, sacrificial lamb

Light presented at auction

Sold for a song

You don't belong by my side

I categorically chose wrong..
