What's that scent that fouls the air
Its poisonous stench I can hardly bear
What's that I see before me there
Flickering in the dark
From the corner of my eyes
I glimpse its ugly sight
Could it be?
What taste so bitter on my tongue
Words I can hardly utter
A dreadful feeling in my chest
That causes my heart to flutter
Could it be?
What's this I feel dripping
Now pouring from my eyes
Could it be?
The ugly emptiness
Of a vital human loss
The tainted twisted feeling
Of a disillusioned mind
A savage tug at my heartstrings
Causing it to rend
Could it be?
Betrayal my friend?
