Casualty

Still running from last week's shadow. Still bleeding from last year's storm. Every haemorrhage disguised. I trip, you blink. There are voices in the curtains that scream against the light. When I scream, you smother. Just another casualty of the quest for perfection. Every flaw is just another bullet to you. I load, you shoot. I should have seen it coming. The greedy horizon eats the sky in the battle of words. I lie, you believe. Deception is my only weapon. When will you accept? I love who you hate.
