A dim lit hall lost in a complex of filthy buildings

Writings on the walls, warnings all around and the pungent stink of piss

A friendly presence at the door, waiting to drag me off the pavement

The face of treason, untruth incarnate, the plague and the loss

With a genuine smile, you faked the plot and pretended to be

A saviour

From my haven I can laugh and consider you

Almost a stranger

No sound flows, echoes like fainting blows

Of words spoken in distrust

Your disinterest hardly contained

Slice the tongue and rip the guts

Words of alienation

The best you can expect

Most sincere dreams weathered by time

Left me alone to face all those regrets

Forlorn endeavours

Another strife that shall never end

All hope has been going down

And no more concern for your life’s left

A faint glimmer of truce

Smashed in the blink of an eye

Lame attempt at reviving the pain

Your guilt is obvious to me

The confusion you’re shamming

Is just an alibi for not assuming

The fact you’ll always feel a deep urge

To lie and cheat all those who care

I won’t yield one more time, I just like to let you down this way

I won’t do you this favour, I enjoy ruining your day
