Frayed Mendacity

Deadened words whisper,
through air as cold as ice.
Bright peace in light unfolding,
unyielding words of pride.

And to a heart that’s beating,
crimson falls from lips so white.
Deceiving pain; existence,
brought forth by unruly demise.

A saddened soul; misleading,
tortured truths of words, abide.
Yet to a spirit in wandering faith,
no foe will utter a cry.

Pretense of great proportion,
a docile body collide.
When to insanity, minds shall weep,
a colorful steadfast goodbye.

Shattered hearts bring pain in life;
mendacity turns to comply.
Deception no more; faith is restored,
an ardent internal disguise.
