Recreated - Derelict

Thrown to the ground

The graven image of a savior

Tallying betrayals

To count them all down

Frailty revealed

The covenants are quickly tested

But nothing here is healed

Shackles shed have left deep wounds

Seeing ones self in the light

Recreated

Redefined

And will we purify?

Savor the triumph of a thousand lies revealed?

Ascend?

Or will we end each other, end our own?

Lost to the sands of time in chaos and despair

Solace, intangible

Seeking concrete definitions

Revelation dealt its blows

Hidden strings and hardened skins

Behind, an empty cell

Still limiting imagination

Housing our despair

And doubt in the self-wrought
