Summary:
Late night musing. Another from the vault, had forgot about this one. Appreciate you. - Damian DeadLove

A jack of all trades and a master of none

Isn’t that what you told me when you were young?

So many restless nights avoiding the sun

Careless whispers spoken with a poison tongue

 

Sinking down with the lowest of lows

Words are subtle jabs leading to blows

 

Never throw stones inside this fragile house

When did you stop listening to such sound advice?

An alley cat stalks the unsuspecting mouse

Playing life’s game costs us more than what’s suffice

 

Sinking down until insanity seizes control

Lies are a cancer that slowly kills the soul

    1. “Careless whispers spoken with a poison tongue…”

      That is a powerful line right there! You set the tone with a hammer & then carried it home with a solid landing. A piece like this really needs no explanation. Damn, my friend…
