Description
Open for SuggestionAmusement is a fickle obsession.
Hate is an irrepressible burden.
The miles between the two,
Are seemingly endless as they reflect the other;
However, the deception in this equation
Can be found not by sight of the eyes.
One must see this abomination with their soul,
Experience is a virtue to be gained.
It takes a great deal of white to brighten a black heart.
The miles are not miles at all,
Rather they are tendrils of thorns;
Illusions
As thin and delicate as a tear.
Snapping one in an instant is not difficult to achieve,
Yet repairing the lost bindings is a demanding,
Yet rewarding achievement.
The pain of realisation is an unbearable thought,
When the destruction was caused
By none other than what was once a dove.
White feathers may be able to disguise their simple appearance,
But feathers alone cannot mask the force-fed lies,
Nor the devastating truth.
It’s easy for a being to change form at will,
Whether to deceive or to hide,
To banish or mislead.
Despite their duplicity,
Seeping through the cracks,
Hidden motives will lurk and snicker,
As if their soul is a being in itself.
This wild beast cannot be tamed by outer vestige,
Rather those who try to beat it,
Only fuel the fire within their host.
This truth, though hard to understand by most,
Is present in all who harbour emotion.
To repair the damage is not impossible,
But you can never dissolve all the misery,
The pain;
Ever-present in our minds, our bodies and our souls.
How should I coax the beast into the spotlight?
That, to you;
I leave open for suggestion.
