“The cruelty of your misplaced hope, was it on purpose?
A lie disguised as a childhood dream
How could you?
And now I’m digging into my own skin,
Begging God for another chance but
I see the Chimera in front of me, taunting me as she lights the sconces on the walls with hope
Why would you let me play with the glass ball if you knew it would break in my hands? Who does that to the person they love?
No way out and I’m slamming my body into every wall because maybe if I force an opening I can break free
But the Chimera is here, too
She says I have to find the opening from the inside of this box
I don’t make it
I’ve turned to stone inside this box
I sit beside the archer Diana,
She’s a pleasant character
The Chimera paces outside of the box
I can hear her snarling turn to whispers and back again
Lying to me and to Diana
Like you did,
And I find out you were the Chimera, you are the Chimera
The cruelty of a misplaced hope, it was on purpose
A lie disguised as a childhood dream.
How dare you.”
