An-empty-tinkling-fool

She raised her voice and declaimed:
"Liar, put your heart on show."
Though my mind was blown away
with mere sadness, in simple ways
I trembled for what was yet to come.
Being ashamed and confused
I couldn't bring myself to confront her
and so I was, a fool for sure.
And there were my pure words,
my deepest feelings
and my ending, yet, so close.
All of them lost their way
as the crowd below yearned for pain.
And I could hear them muttering
pale words of failure and rage.
And, so I recall what had not yet gone.
But she, yes she,
as narcissistic as one can be
calmed my heart that was burning with inward rage.
Seems now that faith had failed me
and I damn myself to her
as my pain diminishes
though joy is snatched away, too.
