Gone Too Far

Perturbed by you, my family and friends. I’m losing. Propaganda is told and sold So cheaply, wantonly squandered against my trust. To never fight for life together or again. Is immoral pleasure gained from your lies? It’s unexpectedness swift, so cutting inside. The outcome real to me if not to you, I feel the hurt, the closing love we knew One time from birth, no more is ours to share. To drink from your well, shallow with love I found Flavours too strong and harsh to drink for long. I tried and failed will nevermore wonder why.
