I wonder

Worst thing I could have done was trusting you

But you were so secretive I didn’t have a clue

Dreams get shattered in a sea of blue

Thanks to those who use others like a tool,

Like a fool I ignored all the signs

The deadly implications of timelines

That’s what happens when you and the Devil dine

Suddenly a twist of fate that turns on a dime,

It seems that life becomes a sordid history

Personal failures that make up a gallery

A treacherous girl by the name of Mallory

Amazing to think she could be the death of me,

You never realize how your future seems like a crime

Like sailing through Sargasso Sea slime

“Bartender, Tequila with a twist of lime,”

Perhaps Hemlock if I might be so inclined,

The intricacy of human nature so strange

It wants to rebel and then re-arrange

Never realizing what good comes from evil change

The fools we are it’s all in vain,

I came upon this precipice of thought

So accustomed to being distraught

Especially when someone has taken all you got

“Forgive,” Jesus, said. “As I forgive you!” He taught,

In the course of a lifetime I wonder

It seems the ones you love always steal your thunder

While war leaves nations torn asunder

Oh Lord, whose spell was I under?
