Deception

She cries, children often do
When they're cold, and hungry too
Come closer, look deeply in her eyes
So delicate, quite unlike her smile

Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips
All-yielding prayer, for instant isolation
Far more sinister than the price of doubt

Yet you remain, still you remain

And she says:
Pray for daylight, pray for morning
Pray for an end to our deception...
