Now I Truly See

Jae

Just Another Escapist


When all other allies

Abandon my cause

I practice my howling

And sharpen my claws

With tears hidden closely

Behind shadowed doors

I plan perfect revenge

And haunt distant shores

What lying companions

That called themselves friends

All face hidden from me

To gain their own ends

You've killed what was loyal

Your fight has gone wrong

To tempt me with hatred

While singing your song

At last what is truthful

Now echoes aloud

Your friendship amiss

As solid as cloud

Intriguing. Really makes me wonder about the situation behind the feelings.

The mood here is interesting. It could be contemptuous yet also matter of fact. Still, it has a sad finality to it. The rhyme and flow are lovely
