Truth Is In The Eye Of The Provider

Down in the deep dark crevices.
There is a dweller with head full of voices.
Sometimes he thinks he might be mad.
Then he catches a glimpse that turns him sad.
Silhouette of his once faithful love.
Delivered to the void after a massive loss of blood.

Justice never rendered.
Condemned by the memory.
Trapped, drowning, caged in three.
No longer is that really me.

Wading through the waist high stink.
Burns so much all I want is to blink.
But if I close my eyes I’ll meet my maker.
For in these depths there is a soul taker.
A beast of flesh but mainly steel.
They like to make their victims howl and squeal.

Suffering only amplified.
This journey is a one way ride.
Cackle, scream, no more noise.
You now join the other boys.

What have, what have I become?
Visage in these shattered crystals.
Twisted, sick, I am the monster.
Bitterness has changed me.
If only things had gone differently!

Then one day while wallowing in grime.
I hear a voice I knew from back in my prime.
But no it could not be true.
I saw her shredded before my eyes changed from blue.
Yet before long there she stood.
In flesh, real, with a look to say life had been good.

Confusion gathered inside.
It took me on a rollerocaster ride.
Until it derailed and locked on betrayal.
Right then I saw her face turn pale.

Deceiver, traitor, heartless scum.
You made me believe you were gone.
Why would you do such a thing?
When we were destined to be together.

Oh you foolish ghoulish freak.
No such future did I seek.
You were a monster before you did change.
Now your appearance reflects your brains.

In a howl of anguish I unleashed my wrath.
Tore apart everything in my path.
Including the love I once called faithful.
For all she’d brought out in me was hateful.
That is why she had to be the last to die.
Yet ending her made me cry.
Tears that washed away the guilt.
Upon my flesh it had built like silt.
When it was done my fleah was clear.
For all these years i’d been imprisoned down here.
Trapped by that literal witch.
With a curse cast that kept me hitched.
But with her dead and my pain gone.
I could once more live and be someone.
Joy filled my every fibre.
So out of that pit a climbed, a fighter.
