Heart Charade

Heart Charade

Falling once again into the black bottomless pit,
Fated to suffer eternally in my permanent abyss

Failing to fill the void within,
Hollow and shattered all efforts remain meaningless.
Weakened spirit, fragile shell,
Mind clouded, ascending to a final farewell.

But then appeared a gleam of light,
A hope perhaps or a new end in sight
Twinkling bright and pure, it lures me in.
Blinded by my fears, fallen victim to the illusion.

This optimistic gleam of light begins to fade,
Reality sets in, this lights just another flame,
That drags me back down, my soul it reclaims.
Beneath a tapestry of lies and misery, I suffocate.

Once again fallen for the same routine,
Struggle to resist, truth be told I�ll fall again.
Facades of passion and hope, burn me slowly as I choke.
Collected wounds begin to take their toll.

The end result remains unchanged.
Defeated and broken, I�ve lost this cruel game.
My heart and soul completely maimed,
By this sadistic, relentless heart charade
