Dead Words on Deaf Ears

Figures that lie; concealed; wait unannounced
Lie stricken with fear paralyzed,
Too cold around you
Silence, the answer given
Flustered, when questions arise

Do not look towards me for your inclusion
You are alone,
Fate a clever disregard for life

But the return of doubt, awaits,
Mirroring changes
Keep the process alive,
As life gives way
Mirroring changes
Devastation the answer,
How it has come to be,
Deliverance from harm
Is your hope of attrition
For what, was said
The frivolous response
Which is now clear
Dead words on deaf ears
