Thou shalt not sin in a house of glass
For fear that the sinless wait outside with hands full of rocks
Waiting to judge
To kill with a clear heart
Murdering a murderer is not murder
Killing the killer
Silencing the voice of sorrow
The grip of shame
Caught in the middle of nothing at all
Forever trying to justify the actions you never made
A house of shattered glass lay strewn for all to see
Littering the path it slices tender feet
Cutting to the bone
Each step leaves the blood soaked testament to innocents lost
A testament to darkness embraced
Staring at the pieces you look upon the reflection of a stranger
No one knows you now
Least of all yourself
Cold nights in the darkness
Listening to the howling somewhere in the distance
Listening to the crying somewhere in yourself
Catching the echoing sobs of your lost life
As they race away down darkened hallways
Your shattered house of glass
You thought it so strong that none could destroy the foundations
Half right you stand knowing in the scattered remnants of a life long gone
Blood dried and carried by the innocent winds you come to understand
None could falter the foundations of the home you had created
Solid they stood against each coming storm
Solid they stood with every howling rage
Weak they became
When you did
Crumble did they
When you did
Lost are they now
As you are
Rain comes drowning your world
Watching as water fills the vacant foundation
As empty as your soul
Watching you see your life dragged away by the pull of time as it screams through the cascading waters
Crying, your tears mix with the rain and race from cold cheeks
Diving into pools of oblivion
As your tired soul cries forever wishing to join them
Embrace the darkness
End the suffering
Embrace the knowledge
Cease the ignorant ranting
Embrace death
Embrace life
Wake this morn and understand
Wake this morn and realize
Your house of glass still stands
As wicked thoughts scurry through your mind
Your life still is
You are the foundation
Be it as you wish for your vision to become reality
I see the cracks already starting to form
Time waits patiently for your stupidity to rear its ugly head
As sadly it shall
Vision will become reality
Reality shall become darkness
Darkness
That never-ending pain in your chest shall become
As the shattered victims are washed away by time
Leaving not a memory of whom you once were
Or what you might have been
Leaving only victims in your ignorant wake
A distant thought you became
A word spoken with venom from placid tongue
A photo with a missing piece
So sad as love still remains regardless the actions
No longer spoken aloud you join the chorus of prayer
A fallen soul forever lost
Some would say a fallen Angel
Most wouldn’t
Your last moments revealed to the world
You wait as the rain on the roof beats with a steady mantra
Last thoughts are only pity for yourself
Selfish to the end
Then you are gone
And no one mourns your passing
Not even she who forced you into this world once word was sent
A silent tear was shed
A silent tear slipping down a heartbroken cheek
A single tear spilled for your passing
Such a shame
It was your own
