destroys in seconds any everlasting beauty,

that ever had a chance to be.

The contrasting images I see

are like slow motion

That wants to be mad vanity.


I come to feel a bitter deal
That wants to thrill a sad reveal.


I come to pine for fruity vine
That wants to brine a dreadful line.


I come to keep a troubling sleep
That makes
