Cleverly Disguised Someone

I want to run across moss covered stones Over a rippling creek of crystal Adorned with your shined and polished bones Away from this constant peril Salty quartz bleeds out from my eyes Such a dark sphere of onyx hate You slice a smile as another part dies When you set another piece of me ablaze You delight in muddling my transparency I am singed by your laugh as I crumble and crack I continue to marvel at a demons consistency To commit these most heinous acts. I once held the rose heart filling it with you I should have know when you were too dark And would never clear up for me to see through Now that it’s too late, I see what you are. And I am crushed by coal, covered in the soot Of a defeat that will never release me into the sun Mourning for the lost trust I had put Into a cleverly disguised someone.
