Deception
Elisa Kuri 1964 (Chicago)
Lost in despair, smoldering ashes of once what was there.
Scratching and clawing, a swirling abyss, drowning in sorrow of deception so clear.
Promises broken and all vows revoked, darkness falls quickly upon fragile souls.
Restlessness lingers for answers not known, awakening spirits with cruelty and strife.
Impossibly distant, unfathomable and cold, scratching and clawing to find a way out.
Swallowing of souls and unbearable doubt.
Lost in despair and swirling abyss, life created never for this.
