A small bout

Fire and hail

Trying to survive

But failing

An infinite lie

Betrayal and strife

Developing a shell

But it's cracked

An endless cry

Nights and tissues

Covering the wounds

Scars reopened

A minute offense

Screams and fights

Coping with the demise

Shattered pieces

A forgotten plan

Scattered and destroyed

Living with the remains

A sizeable defeat
