Withdrawn

Built a foundation on a fault line
Temperamental bias stirs beneath
No substance dangles from the vine
Put the blade back in the sheath

When the walls tumbled down
It revealed a foolish arrogance
Under that smile lives a frown
A string-puppet born to dance

Rain pours from a dark sky
Drowning every seed planted
Promises built around a lie
Broken wishes never granted

When death comes to collect
Silence falls before the dawn
Time fades into disconnect
Existence of life withdrawn
