Faces Of Mine
A smile once so true
It changed direction over time
I knew it was there because of you
But it was just belief based from a lie
Hope cannot be granted
And then stripped away
You have left my core tainted
With these wicked games that you play
May it be a lesson
Or turn it into fact and truth
Love won't be as important
As I use these scars as my proof
-
These eyes were once so hopeful
It was considered the rise after the fall
But my tears became unfaithful
As pain plunged out of my skull
No passion for the heart / No light for the dark
No love for the liars / No guilt for the defilers
No truth for the corrupted / No solace for the hatred
No burden for the betrayers / No shame for the usurpers
An innocent outlook on life
Once so pure and whole
But now it's twisted to survive
There is no caring anymore
-
Forced to adapt to cruelty
I injected ice into my veins
I changed my perception of reality
I will be the one nightmare you have made
Human nature is to blame
For all of the wrongs
But soon that will change
I will undo what you have done
I will erase everything
Void of weak emotions
My face will become nothing
But a symbol of vengeance
As I'm nearing the end of the project, there are some gaps that need to be filled. I had a working title called "Tears Of Mine" but I realized I used the the ending for another poem, so thus, the title became useless. I then started to think of replacing the words "tears" with something else. I got a comment saying "You should do one about slenderman next time." I know of Slenderman, and the game. I did a search for stock images of Slenderman and did a wiki search of the origin.
I thought his 'face' was kind of cold, and creepy. I then thought of "Faces Of Mine"
Some ones face could be so...kind and innocent, but then it can also transform. Transform into something...cold...and eventually creepy.
Thus, inspiration was fused together.....
I hope that made sense x,x
I'm glad to be a part of the group!
