Entrenched

Devastated, through broken promises and lies

The scars lie deep now, burning from inside

Cut through broken promises and lies

Intense resentment now will thrive

Instinctively - as you feel the anger rise

As the pressure builds hatred fills the mind

Overpowering - gripped within the jaws of defeat

Under attack - no organised retreat

Trapped within the jaws of defeat

Won but lost - the misery complete

When least expected - with the element of surprise

Silent and swiftly - another taken life

Violated – breached are all defensive lines

The enemy has victory in sight

Within the moment

When all seems lost

In retaliation

Eradicate the past

In defeat triumphant

In the face of massed adversity

In a world of compromise

....Some don’t.
