These kind words have adopted us

Accepted without question

We live to love

We love to live

A peaceful gift.

We claim to be grateful

Though it isn't certain

Standing in pure darkness praying for the light

Pondering recent frames

Allowing access to mistakes I may have made.

Where are they

Where are they now.

As I stare into a whole made up of dismay

They now face me

Gazing blankly into my eyes.

All at once shattering

Leaving only the shards to be replaced.

I am putrid

Lay aside the good that I have done.

But I am alive.

As I stare into a whole made up of dismay

They now face me

Gazing blankly into my eyes.

Only the shards to be replaced with guilt

I am putrid.
