The Soulful Atom

It re-surfaces, raises its ugly head..
Grey and dirty..
Full of tiny gooey tentacles which grow larger with every passing minute..

Threatening to engulf every happy moment,
It poisons every seed of joy that you sowed..

It dis-integrates every strand of hope that your heart witnessed..
And then it crushes each of the tiny pieces,
Till their screams echo in its ears forever..

The mouth so grotesque smelling of a hundred rotting smiles..
The ghosts of past hopes shine eerily through its eyes..

It creeps all over, inside and out..
Its lusty feet, hands and tongue sucking all the thoughts but one out..
It plants the seeds of despair and hatred..

I open my eyes, i strain my ears..
But all i see is lies, and all i hear is fake..

It cajoles me, and lures me into its depths..
And then.....
I can trust no more..
