When the Heat Scolds

Elude yourself because you know you can. Allude to yourself your master plan. Don't go guns blazing or you'll lose the day. Better to find another way! Remember once that you had respect. Remember once that you could respect. Remember that they take it all away. Friends of one time will inevitably betray. Selflessness has lost its way. Selfishness is here to stay. No one cares deep down no more. Close their lives behind the happy door! Survival asks questions of our souls Turn your back when the heat scolds? Where were you when I was down? Where were you when I was lost? Promised all, at any cost? Delivered nothing, your promises lost? Now alone, I'll find a way. To rebuild my life a better way.
