Hollow heart
Ironically filled
With vulnerability.
Pale cheeks
Have never
Seen indulgence.
Lacking scarlet bloom
Vacant of all expression.
Emerald eyes
Contain power.
External beings
Unaware
Of significance
This power holds.
Seemingly pure
Innocent,
Naïve,
Trust is given
Without prior consideration
To the consequences.
A glimpse
Is all that’s needed,
To be caught.
Obviously blameless,
Symphony
Of lies and deceit
Can be masked
With incense.
Faithlessness
Is silent
And invisible
Like memory.
Proving to all
Their lethalness.
Better to detect
The distinct
Scent of death.
Easier to escape
Fragrance,
However putrid.
