Built on Sand - Solution .45

Running away

Far from it all

Lying in wait

Yet riding for a fall

The line of fire denied

Exit through a sense of void inside

The entering phase complete

What lives another day

Silence — triggering

Tipping the scales

An easy prey

Now being thrown to the wolves

Here dies another day

Guidance — withering

Shadow prevails

From sources stray

Its life it pulls

No-man's-land

A monstrosity built on sand

Battled thought

Strength inhaled

Roles reversed

Change unveiled

Focus caught

Host exhaled

Weakness cursed

In the end when the unpleasant truth

Comes crawling out of the woodwork

Cherished illusions and attempted escapes

Turn to gleams of light in the dirt
