The second time has come to pass

Visions that can never last

Spoken words foretell thy doom

Thoughts lost quickly

And so soon

Whispered words in the dark

Promising to still thy heart

Dancing shadows

Twisted lies

Legacy of the first compromise

Tortured breath against your face

Silent screams left in the wake

That phrase uttered

A jagged sword

Ragged edges of a gaping hole

Bleeding swiftly but too slow

Upturned face and pleading eyes

Begging for a swift demise

Decisions that we choose to make

Many are but grave mistakes
