Emanations of the Sick

What I gave and what you took
Though the memories fade the hate still remains
Rest can't find this weary mind

Stripped of human dignity
Shame framed for display
Laughing stock - left betrayed
Hope and empathy decay

Plots to contrive theater from this life
Forced to live lies felt as clear truth
Flesh splayed at the masquerade
Revenge won't even satisfy the wounds you've left behind
