Analysis of Mockeries collapse
Violent shards of laughter
Divide the waking pain
Selfish, dormant pleasure
Wrapped in soulless reign
Splintered chords of passion
Beg to be released
Bringing more confusion
To a washed away disease
The higher guards of longing
Immortalize their wings
With an emptiness belonging
And robbed of fallen beings
They veil the sullen challenge
And smooth away the seams
To strand the youth in solace
And wage a war of dreams
Horrid revelations
Crumble to the depths
The force of degradation
Sways on past regrets
The shelters of belief
Own their fading grasp
As fearful currents cease
And mockeries collapse
