Plans fall through
and cities collapse;
civilization ceases,
pure happenstance.

Memories fade out
as hope washes away;
wonders do cease
when lonely hearts stray.

Oceans will rise
and hell fires burn
but while life dies around you,
the world will still turn.

Something eats
at my gut,
eviscerating,
wounding
beyond repair.

Something gnaws
in my brain,
tearing,
burning
in absolute pain.

Something devours
my heart whole,
gaping,
empty
will be my soul.

Something nibbles
on what is left,
remnants,
spare parts
beyond repair.

I take a step back
and the picture is clear
for the first time
in over a year.

Your intentions,
though well meant,
have crushed my heart
and left my soul bent.

I see what you hide
is bursting from your skin
and your true colors
show in the lies you spin.

The fire between us,
burns hot, can you tell?
No longer from passion,
but from the bowels of hell.

For the first time in years,
the kids were coming home
and this lonely mother
would not be alone.
She baked and she cooked
and she slaved away
while her wayward sons
fought and bickered all day.

Those two sons
never wanted to return
except to hurt one another
and watch the other burn.
Little did they know
this would be their last
chance to find peace
and put the past in the past.

For the first time in years,
the kids were coming home
and this lonely mother
wanted to be alone.
She baked and she cooked
and she slaved away
and with a drop of poison,
she kept her sons with foul play.
