The creation of a downfall
Self-sabotage for the wicked
A mirrorless reflection
lies in the space between
Grappling for truth or
grappling for you
It doesn’t matter to
find in vain the real you
Bones crackle to delude
the path of the wicked
Mist follows their vision
as smoke consumes the
cloud that rains acid
The feelings land on a
rainless path of infertile emotion
Lack of guile
The turning of the wicked
The reflection reveals its artifice
A void that stares back at you
A past that writes the future
A future that hides your truth
A truth that evades to
save you from the real you
