"Tyranny of Ghastly Choices"

Selfhood ripped away
Heeding seduction
Morals laced up and left behind
Packaging life as a commodity
Sold for a sliver of love
In hope that the world falls
And one shred lands at your feet

Innocent eyes luring one-time lovers
Laying you open in disassociation
from consequences
Pounding between perfect silky limbs
Delving deep into scars
Demons packed in pretty wrapping
Sliding across slippery slopes
Holding on to false hedge of memories
Fatal strain within the tenderness of spring

A monotonous light shines
Unable to penetrate the clouds
As thorns embed your heart
Numbing the hunger
Relishing in shades of grey
Fading in pools of nothing
Unable to return to dull normalcy
As your dreams stir in frozen air

Life framed in tyranny of ghastly choices
