Choose

Eyes turned black from deceit While window shards lay scattered at my feet Which choice to choose My conscience is beginning to lose Saying to me don't make the same mistake It takes more than this to make you break Emptied spirits dry to the bone So uncomforting has become this feeling of being alone Professing the darkest deed The hunger, the want, the Need. I've taken so much, gave so little Stood strong until I grew brittle Weak and becoming nothing but waste Secrets that are only bland in taste Filtered through pungency and greed We give so little, so that we begin to feed on the nearest soul Only to gain little or no control Bold faced deceit and broken glass lays before my feet to take or pass away I'll leave that choice for another day To give in to the want and the need And watch myself bleed
