I watched you emerge from the spectral lagoon,
And gouge out your heart with a smirk.
The digitless hand would scarcely come full circle,
'fore the red eye on horizon would lurk.
The blistered dementia of your logic would sear, through the foundations of many a mind.
Your coveted presence would endear them all,
Seen only as a virus in hindsight.
I followed the trail of broken promises,
That you'd left plain in your wake.
I watched you trip and fall, as you started to crumble,
Like a glistering top-heavy cake.
And they picked you apart, in a spectacle,
That would leave us all aghast.
As their gnarled truths and triggered sentences,
Were as conniving as they would be fast.
And the lies were laid down bare,
For the subjugators all to see,
The only thing left for you to lose
Is me.
The eyes that had charmed the most skeptic of minds,
Were hollow and void of disdain.
They turned now to me, fighting hard for the tears,
To mingle with the torrential rain.
And your words rang true, there's a first time for all,
And for all there was a first time for you.
But the time wasn't yours, and I've none in reserve,
To clean the rusty red from the black and the blue.
And the lies were laid down bare,
For the subjugators all to see,
The only thing left for you to lose is me,
The only thing left for you to lose is me.
And the lies were laid down bare,
For the common people all to see,
The only thing left for you to lose
Is me.
