The Best Deception

The Best Deception

It leaves us lost within the darkness—a blindfold from the light. It keeps us hidden from the truth, the warm lies numb our aching souls.

The onyx sun hovers between towering skyscrapers—above brick boulevards and asphalt avenues.

It’s here you’ll find us.

A parade of desolate spirits—scattered throughout the twists and turns of a city’s complicated grid labyrinth.

Blended together, a sea of faces seen, but forgotten.. easily overlooked.

We have all picked our poison and here we will wait—vulnerable and alone—till obscurity spreads through every swollen vein.. every fibre of our existence.

The darkness spares no one. It claims us—one by one—young and old. It preys on the weak, but wouldn’t hesitate to knock down the strong as it takes pleasure with each disheartened soul.

Shadows breed temptation—it’s offspring? Fraudulent hope.

Nothing but a illusion of castles in the air—for each high has a fall much greater than the one before as the best deception is nothing more than your own desire.
