Facade
This unfathomable facade that you call a face only drips loneliness from a black well its discordant gurgling ancient and mysterious this unfathomable facade that you call a face hides a pain so deep from the dredges of a broken oath a palpable throbbing of drums pulsating on the altar of tattered virginity alas, do not block the sunshine from loving hearts around you silent witnesses to your empty shadow unwilling partners to your primal suffering must they avert their gaze from this unfathomable facade that you call a face?
