Genuine Apprehension

Let these lies encompass you,

at present they consume you.

Lose yourself in this indulgent bliss.

 

Every road leads to tears,

sorrow is the future's dark promise.

Breath down the neck of my demise.

 

This deception is my shimmering reflection.

Distorted to channel shame.

Rearrange this facade.

 

Besieged by these melodies of tragedy.

You accepted this vile doom,

don't feign blindness.

 

Ensnared in this endless disaster.

Tolerate this torturous ache.

This is genuine apprehension.

    whoa. this is really quite bleak...but then, so it the prompt. i like what you've done with that quote. the way you are adressing someone directly worked really well. i love the lines:

    "You accepted this vile doom,
    don't feign blindness. "

    there's some power in this piece.

    thanks for your entry.
