Blinding Pride

Blinding ignorance Refusing to admit defeat To even yourself Delusions of grandeur Clouds your judgment Hypnotizing the embryonic conscience That you proclaim to possess No epiphany Continuing to live as the hero That you pretend to be Denying the existence Of the villain that owns Your narcissistic soul Loosing your angels, one by one Cascading down like dominos Falling over until nothing remains Numb inside Cannot reciprocate the love Bestowed on you Your attempts at imitation Just a desperate measure, A histrionic demonstration of emotions That your heart is incapable of feeling Vacancy engulfs the hearts Of those who live only for themselves Your selfish heart Thrives on twisted manipulation Shattering the beautiful innocence Of the guardian seraphim That watch over you Forever tarnishing the purity That was my love for you Now you're life knows only loneliness Wallowing in emptiness Until your very last breath
