The Darkest of Hearts

The Darkest of Hearts


And you are...
   yesterday's pleasantries
today's impurities
   tomorrow's solace

And you are...
  what you want the world to see
    strength,
      beauty,
         power,
            soul

And you are...
   a fallacy,
a union of falsehood and indignation,
   an ambassador of dereliction and delusion

And you are...
   what you want the world to see
       compassionate,
          protector,
             infallible
               worshipper and lover of the most high

And you are...
   one who defiles
the most sacred of trusts
   a destroyer of inner peace
mocking the purest of hearts

And you are...
   what you want the world to see
       champion of causes
           treasurer of grace
              master of the ethereal
                  enchanting and desirable

And you are...
    the angel of deceit
pretentious and poisonous
    inebriated in repugnance
disheveled and insignificant

And you are....
