Flaming emotion coloring perception,
blinded to the truth that is
hidden under the past lies.
Forgetting all that is because,
of all that has come before.
Gone and lost is life's chance,
the fleeting hope of happiness.
Missing out on it all,
because of what once was.
Jaded heart becomes callous,
immune to the warmth.
Bitter and lonely they now remain,
anger and sorrow their domain.
Unknown to themselves it is
the state of their existence.
