Faithful Duplicity

In the depth of darkness sounds, words, just words of meaningless consequence Never was there a line so cold, so still, overflowing with too much to hold Elegant lies weaved into one, the crash comes soon as the enchanted deception runs Vivid colors, blood red pumps and with every word the mind carries the forbidden orb Idolized perfection of thought and words, lips move as hearts tear, a lived lie rooted in flesh Trivial tasks made into chores, that one line a promise of vows,rocks hide on crashing shores. And with the hourglass runs out, sand poured drinks for the parched sitting on stools of doubt. Bible teachings show guarantees, written in stone, did they know circumstance as these? Lying now, even now as confessional insomniacs crawl in guilt, the pills to fall to that darkness yet Even now in crammed spaces, dark rooms, the inevitable black of truth stains the white of lies.
