In The Light

Lying here
Broken
Alone
Unwanted
On the floor,
Waiting for a glimpse
Of what could have been.
Broken and fading
The visage lost.
A broken wing,
A lost cause.
You never waited
This flame in your eyes
Already set the world ablaze
Already torched my soul
Already ravaged the earth.
Like a candle
Quickly fading in the cool breeze,
I die
Staring at you in disbelief.
A weary soul
Tortured by your every lie
The lie that dripped
Like poison from your tongue.
A venom that cut
Like no blade ever could.
Shifty eyes
And a gleaming smile
Tore down my every defense.
I trusted you,
You looked me in the eye
And laughed.
Blinded by what I wanted
I should have seen this coming
I never thought my death
Would come like this.
In my final breath
My only wish
Is that the world see through
Your venom
Your every lie,
And turn to the Light.
