Our Vanity

by Beautiful Chaos   Sep 29, 2010


Demons in the mirror
Voices in your head
This past we keep reliving
Has left us here for dead

Our love just lays here rotting
We fight for it no more
I wonder if we'll wake up
Or sleep forevermore

Dreams becoming real life
Nightmares holding sway
This confusion could have ended
If we just walked away

We fight to save our pride
But that's indeed long gone
Pride went out the window
When our love became foregone

    The flow is definitely impeccable, and the message more relative to many than we may want to admit. Very strong words and you have done a great job with this. Definitely a great read!

    Take Care,

    Or sleep forevermore

    I really love this piece, and I think the best part is near the start when you talk about the past we keep reliving is leaving us for dead. That's really poignant, well done. This resonates very strongly with me. Well done !
