Betrayal
Words fail
To fund ease
In lapsed peace
That unveils
Joy bleeds
Quest of bourse
In lost cause
Where pain seeds
Faith dies
To harsh fear
That drowns cheer
In odd sigh
Hope drains
In lost way
Where dark days
Breed more pain
Once good
Now feels sick
In blown wick
Of dead mood
Vile squeeze
Of blown wit
In stray bits
Toss cold sneeze
Wet tears
Tell in vain
Of sad pain
Void of cheer
No more
Poise of choice
To seed voice
As gall pours
End game
Death culls best
Breath of zest
In nude name
