Your formulated intentions
all hiding plans of demise,
a shielded vulnerability
that I was left to surmise.

You conquered protective walls
by seizing my evaded trust,
I deafened my own ears
from words of barbed thrust.

Hollow words and promises
the naive would find sincere,
to all of your empty requests
I would faithfully adhere.

You climbed upon your pedestal
beaming with false pride,
because little did you know
my ignorance would subside.

You glorified your madness while
playing the role of moralistic,
if only they could have seen
your true form was sadistic.

Your delusive self-righteousness
was not without its own faults,
degrading your words meaning
and weakening your assaults.

You only did it to yourself
and I could see right through you,
too late to make a fresh start
though thats what you pursue.

And now whats done is done
your fate has now been sealed,
I can come out of hiding
since you have been revealed.
