Tarnish
a work of Poetry by Nug (Megan Verevis)
I don't always feel like this, not even often. But, at the time - it was so clear.
Tarnish.no need for roses,
anymore.
no need for heart shaped candy,
either.
we ate it all up,
with all our hunger.
our hate has over ruled.
death.
destruction.
in all our glory.theres no need for lovers,
anymore.
no need for vows,
either.
love is too good,
and we've come too far.
murder.
deceipt.
in all of our glory.how can we pick and chose?
who will win and who can lose?
it's all a game,
and we played it wrong.
now, (oh, now)
no one should be allowed to win.no need for jesus,
anymore.
no need for unrequiting faith,
either.
we have choked.
in all our need.
no one can help us now.
hate.
desire.
all this, in all our glory.theres no need for another,
anymore.
theres no need for sharing,
either.
this is the end.
in all our hopes,
our ambition has finished us.
greed.
greed.
greed.greed has been mistaken for glory.
