Familiar Faces

In this familiar room where my soul was ripped out of my body, were faces whom I once deeped hands in the same bowl with, In this familiar surrounding where my betrayal played out, were faces whom I once played in the mud and climbed trees with, In this familiar walls, where my demise was plotted, I once laid on its bed and shared my dreams,my fears and my future. these ones sending me to the great beyond and ripping off my fortune once pledged allegiance to me and walked my path with me. the warmness of brotherhood has long vanished in the eyes of the people who hugged my mother and bade her farewell. In this familiar room filled with familiar faces, that once kissed my forehead, and held my hands, I have been served me with an unfamiliar evil.
