Whispers of Silence

I's and Eyes

They learned that love conquers all,
But I witnessed how love brings out
   the worst of all.
They told me love is enough,
Yet I saw how love erased their
   laughs.

I saw others build towering heights
   of trust,
Then I saw mine, frequently
   trampled and broken to dust.
Someone told me the world still
   contained kindness.
But oftentimes kindness is deceit in
   its harness.

Together, we all hoped for better
   days.
But better days came with even
   more darker occurrences oozing
   with menace.
