Double standards
Stubborn hearts
Masking hurt
Making excuses on their behalf
Anger or grief
Nursing loneliness
Not your home
All for the show
Numbing the blows
No sleep for the wicked
Envy or ire
Gluttony on the rocks
Love served cold on a platter
Dancing on her funeral pyre
Bloodied feet wrapped in golden anklets
Poison truth and lips sworn shut
Little lights of a burning aeroplane
Grey skies on a full moon night
Vulnerability or another liability
Cold hard cash counted and caressed
Fears and desires trickling down slow
Harrowed eyes whispered prayers
Not my god
Our religion
Faith or cut-glass oaths
Mercy on you
Pagans all
Ostracized beggars of momentary proximity
