False Prophet
Lavish lies conceal flattering false prophets
Under a guise that is layers deep
A ritualistic routine of self masocation
Of emotional measures physicality intact
Progressing and digressing
Warnings clearly labeled
Flattering false prophets
a heart now disabled
Still pumping blood none the less
False prophet why have I befriended thee?
An idiot of my own creation
Stress by hiding to please
Now a sole obligation
False Prophet once humble and like minded
now blossomed and pompous
Yet I linger like a bittersweet scent
No longer expecting gratification
I now know False Prophet
I am a friend just for show
nothing more occasionally less
False Prophet please know
I tried my best
Now heart and mind under stress
No longer able to communicate
