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
