Reflexes

We build Bonds that we pray we don’t break

Things are done out of desperation to prevent tears from flowing

But we all ignore the damage that has already been done

A level of trust diminished to the rubble on which the precious foundation was built on

Because of selfish greed

It led to my demise

The face you knew in the mirror

shards of broken glass

The water in your well has dried up

Why do I hide behind this mask

Why is there life and death in a tongue

Why does the pain of the past Chase me like a 5 o’clock shadow

I fall victim to perpetuated Vices

I am no better than the father before me

I lost the last thing I held dear in my life

I’ve never learned how to care for nice things

Not sure which way to go

I pray my emotions do not destroy anyone else

I pray the cuts that life has given me do not bleed on the innocent

But only time can tell
