The Frame
Cruel rejection
Lined affection
Blunt desire
Aiming higher

Pure and selfish
Words sound elfish
Stuck in mire
Grips on fire

Raw denial
Love’ s on trial
Watching all
On magnifier
And always decay

Broken ladder
Doesn’t matter
Undefeated
Lonely sadder
Subsided castaway
All in all, was left in pieces
I’ve been left, broken down to cry

Grading favors
Poor endeavors
Neutral flavors
Usual waivers
A common replay

False injections
Plot confections
All in sections
Plain collections
And sliding afraid

Naming brothers
Foster mothers
Rather than the actual fathers
Keep breaking away

Every other
Just another
Use the frame as dusted cover
And hide it anyway

All in all, was left in pieces
I’ve been left, broken down to cry
