Rust

Rust.

It can deteriorate even the



Strongest...wills.



It steals the simple purity of what it

Infects

It will turn beauty into a lesser self

It will give you the illusion of strength...and then you'll fall through

It will give out
and leave
you


..without anything stable to grasp
without
hope...
There is nothing solid here
Just an 

auburn facade

of such.
