Impending Immunity

Impending Immunity

Hearts can lie, although I know this seems quite vast –
I was once young and vibrant, but forever never lasts.
"I do" is taken for granted, unlike in the years of past –
Matrimony was forever, not today's divorces in mass.

Through lies of the heart, love lays jagged and broken –
the truth of the matter goes noticeably unspoken.
Bitter stabs leave blood stained floors as a token –
forcing the despised beast alive and fully woken.

Abusive, foul shards of hope pierce thy still heart –
content in our misery, we find comfort in the art.
Sculpting disparity, shaping cruelty from the start –
Denying the inevitable that two should now depart.

Words and fists work together destroying the unity
sinking deeper into the abyss only furthers the impunity
tattered hearts seeking another God-given opportunity
to rid themselves of the impending immunity.

Draped in a cloak of violent despair ever so appealing –
imprisoning mistrust, our troubled lives now revealing,
a turmoil of wickedness, our evil words keep stealing –
ones laughter, ones joy and any depth of true feeling.

Amid the darkened clouds that covet tremendous grief
bursts a ray of light beaming toward a past belief -
new confidence floats on a transformed autumn leaf
mending divine love on resplendent winds of relief.
