Broken Souls


The world is adrift in broken souls
Damaged people you meet along the way
Hollowed hearts that beat for show
Without feeling or sympathy
Liars that speak the truth in a dream and betray with a kiss
Lovers who cannot love, but hide behind walls
Mysteries that linger when they are long gone
Memories that burn toxic in the moonlight glow
Only the brave need show affection and desire
For the rest a wicked smile will do
Before the whole charade 
Comes crashing down.
