Sickly Luminescence

by Tuck420 - Sagittarius

A haggard face of infinite depth
It pauses to rest; Well-worn features
Speak of false truth and happiness.

A sigh and a moan and lifting up
The burdens of the past onto mighty
Shoulders; Feelings of guilt enclosed
Within a spiritual grave.

What was right to begin with? A sound
It echoed
It screamed, 'Give up your burden! You,
Who refuse to be innocent even for a
Moment.' Because a moment is all we really
Need.

To become innocent.

Remorseless confessions follow, a cacophonous
fury, bounding through the hallways; Always
begging for more; 

But can you ever really...
Last... One... Moment... More...
Than intended?

Reason for writing:

    Hypocrites make me angry.  Plain and simple. And yet everyone's a hypocrite, including me... Go figure?
