The Grand Façade

The grand façade
Is kept up day in and day out
The lies protruding
And the demons overshadowing
The light that yearns to surface
And evil reigns
Over the dustings of ash
That were once her heart
But has deteriorated
After all the abuse it has suffered

The grand façade
Masquerades as the lit smile
Below the pain filled eyes
That are lines with tears
And broken dreams
That were destroyed by
The faith she one held so dear
That left her stranded
On an island of lies
In an ocean of blood.
