The desperate anxiety of abandonment; the anger and disdain toward those whom you once trusted; the depression resulting from the crushing weight of loss.
Conditional love is a fabrication. There is not, and will never be, such a thing. Despite being born with hearts full of love, the ideological divide prevalent in all aspects of life, drilled into our minds constantly by the media, political, and religious figures, tears the ability to truly love from us until all that is left is resentment and decay.
This cold, empty void binds us together.
------
Petrified tears cut like glass in my throat
Held it all in until my eyes capsized
Your words were lifeboats
I drowned in my bath of lies
On the past I'm choking
The pain is all so memorized
Branded with guilt
Shadows approach
The crows form a cloud and collide
The reaper's evoked
The rage is so pressurized
He speaks, but all I see is smoke; his dialogue I despise
I'm all alone; it's me that spoke
Reality's a compromise
I laugh it off with a joke
Paranoia is a spy
Dopamine I try to provoke
My serotonin's in disguise
I wear a reflective cloak
So Medusa's gaze won't paralyze
Inside the fog I search for hope
Will this virus be sterilized?
