the truth is running away
under the disguise of hope and vigilance
politeness and desperation
it hides behind words
that are facades of intentions
the truth is running away
and taking your beliefs with it
lulling you into acceptance
sedating the nerves
that hold up the warnings
convincing you that
this can not be anything else
the truth is running away
scared by it’s own shadow
incapable of following through
whitewashing integrity
dissolving the inner core
the truth is running away
if you feel the dust
blown into your face
hide what you hold dear
protect what means most to you
because when it’s gone
when there is nothing left
there will be only
emptiness to hold on to
