Grace and Disgrace

The distant darkness of deceit

Casts bold its shadow long and lean

Across the melancholy sea

Crying out to be set free.

 

But freedom cannot find her echo

Muted by defined disgrace.

Whimpering, she seeks her solace

Cloaked by veils of blackened lace.

 

Shame becomes her sole companion,

Loneliness a bosom friend.

Solitude her only comfort as she

Contemplates the end.

 

Was it worth the pain and sorrow

Playing out your vain disguise?

Now the unmasked interloper

Paying dearly for her lies.

 

Lies are but the Devil’s scalpel

Slashing scars on Beauty’s face, and

She could spend a thousand lifetimes

Trying to get back to grace.
