Uncover the Covered

Fri, 05/03/2013 - 08:34 -- Kessler

The sting of reality is realized
As the reality of the real intensifies
And the hidden no longer is fantasized
As I uncover your habitual lies.

Your past may have passed
But it grabs as I am passing
It caught up to you fast
And sent your false life crashing.

You tried your best to best me
But your best wasn’t enough
The chance you took was chancy
For you couldn’t hide your bluff.

The choice you chose is chosen
You can’t choose to choose another
Your choice of life does blacken
As I peel away your cover.

You sought cover in the cover-up
But the hidden was uncovered
When discovered your cover blew up
In your own deceit you were smothered.
