Idioms & Idiots

appearing healthy and green.

accusatory, harsh, and mean.
You are the ugly truth,
unbearable, entrenched in mire.
You are the third degree burn,
evidence of my play with fire.
You are the pride that
went before destruction.
You are the weight
burdening my conscience.
You are the glitter
that promised to be gold.
You are the bill of sale,
proof I once sold my soul.
