A life of scraps, a soul overthrown.
Each meal a quest, each day a test,
I beg for crumbs, and pray for rest.

[Stanza 1]
Suddenly, the clouds above become gray,
Like a sudden sharp knife, the words you say.
My heart used to beat so strong, pure, and true,

In the Shadow's of a Narcissist

...In gilded chains, he wandered blind,
Love's cruel mirror, the heart entwined.

...Dark thoughts linger, heavy, cruel,
Of my blue-eyed monster, sharp as a jewel.

A maze of reflections, each one a different shade
Of truth and lies, of light and darkest space

And darkness wraps a world that once was free.
I stumble, lost, upon this treacherous ground,

That rush that fear that unknown
My stomach turns I don’t want to go there

Thief on the Left

My life a hollow, fleeting flame.

Tears like fractured glass betrayed me,
Stabbed my face, into a dry oasis,
My body, overthrown by the love of you,
Yet my soul, still untouched by your rain…...

As he tries to take this life to cancer.
The news to fill your heart with dread,
As you, process words inside your head.
