Life wields importance like a sword
Messing up one's list of priorities
Scattering carefully laid plans
It pares away at incontrovertible fact
And makes mockery of human concerns
Life uses perception like a maul
Smashing through one's facades without subtlety
Banging through our beliefs
Laying waste our vision of reality
And substituting broken dreams
Life uses love like a whip
Ripping through one's hope
Driving men mad
It cuts bitterly to the core
And leaves trails of blood behind
Life uses you like a knife
Stabbing once and again into my frail soul
Cleanly slicing away my mind
Leaving tattered remnants of my heart
And silence in its wake.
