Casualty Of Your Cruelty

The radiant shine leaves your aurora dimming ever so quickly, as in northern regions you are—borealis falling into the southernmost Sahara negative gradients descend—australis The gloss of moral sanction The glitter of a social butterfly The prism of a love sonnet I thought it would never end False is an outward appearance Black smoke puffed charcoal ashes spread amongst the masses Snuffed are the soft eider white reminiscence Left are the burnt embers of memory Janus face so striking truant tradeoffs at any cost totality misleading, yet, narcissism becomes you A most plebeian diagnosis Self-absorbed egotist with delusions of grandeur You’ll popularize popularity while it condemns you, A cowardice, believing YOU were a soldier Yet you hid when all else fought for you a fair weathered friend is no friend at all You’ve painted a Renoir of you an illusion, it's a Goya—El Greco! A bruting intimacy restrained a duality in an Art Deco mask off, mask on Disguise! Hide what’s just another espy I was wrong about you... Words spread eloquently A perennial drone others reality If cruelty, are your real realms Then I am just another casualty Taken in by your devilish charms when Moon and Sun collide allied with the charred stars A false hope maker dream taker, heartbreaker, faker Fare thee well... You’re of them No one special after all a let down draining I want no part of you
