| I am an heiress, descendant of a long line in failed emotion and negligent devotion. Trampled promises lie bleeding , crushed under the careless feet of selfishness. Were it not for a brief, illogical lapse in this twisted tradition, I would not be. What�s to become of me in this legacy? Sentenced for inherited crimes, it�s become a strain just to maintain- wondering if I�m doomed to repeat the mistakes running through my veins. Part of me is a liar, the other a fool. So narrow is the center path, I fear falling into the abyss on either side. Unwanted demons infiltrate my identity, laughing at my finesse of love�s failure, senseless attempts to deny my heritage. I cannot resist the deceptive taste that taints my past and sours the future. I hold my breath waiting for the dust to settle, stumbling through the ruins left in the wake of misery�s demise, searching for a new legacy to claim. RLT �2001 |
