A mask can disguise a shattered soul shrouded in ice. But I wonder how long it will be before the guise gets old.

Hush. Don't say a word now. The end is far from sight.

Somewhere up ahead there is a rainbow.

Dearest friends drop about us as flies in a plague.
No solace or contentment can be found within the hearts
and souls of all who stood, once, for all.

Empty hearts and broken tears
Will find no rest here.
Camoflaged screams
No longer pierce the black expanse
Pf distance between two souls
Kept apart by circumstances.

Asphyxiating lies surround the heart of the one unable to accept the life they have been given.
