Deceit!

I saw those faces behind
masquerades,
Slowly revealing
themselves in the dark;
Tis’ sorrowful -
for their deed was heinous,
Sinful and
deplorable! Akin to murder,
Murder of the
‘truth’ I was entitled to!
They robbed the
truth from me – And,
Blinded me in their make-believe world!
Now, caught betwixt those fine hidden
lies,
And the ugly naked truth – they stand,
Their concealed subterfuges
broken free,
All their false assurances
faded in a flash;
Their masks tore
into two halves – one,
Bearing a wicked
grin – sly and crooked,
With their evil
minds spewing spite, hatred;
Another, filled
with regret and remorse,
Their empty hearts
basking in self-loathing;
Yet, beneath this
chaos, their desperate souls,
Yearn to be
liberated from this sordid misery,
From evil and the chasm
devouring them;
Mind running amok,
one thought to another,
Seeking solace yet
yielding to the chaos;
But ‘Truth’ and
‘Trust’ aren’t merely words,
It shattered
whilst the ugly façade vanished;
Trust ebbed when
their veil faded into dust,
The erosion of
trust scraped my soul away;
Weakened my legs
and left me distraught;
Oh, dear reader! A
penny for your thoughts,
Did they beguile
me or themselves in the end?
Must I pity them?
Or must I abhor them all?
Must I indulge? Or
must I resist and move on?
Are they awful? Or
are they merely pitiable?
Befuddled with questions,
and no answers,
I sigh. I pause,
wonder and end my tirade!
