TITLE- Truths

For many years I trusted you

I let your absolution be my guide

I believed in your strenth and the thing you could do

You simply lied

Lied

Lied

No change came from the river of blood

Joy never filled their war torn eyes

Happiness never came when they buried the one's they loved

They simply cried

Cried

Cried

I dipped my bloody hands in pool to cleanse them

But blood restained my hands before the water ever dried

He was defeated as the bitter smell of pain and fear danced around him

He simply died

Died

Died

~The Battousai the night before put down his sword
