stress builds
tension lines flickering
over smoky blue eyes
cracks appear in the facade
personalities surface
spraying crystal fragments
sharp brittle
like broken glass
pitiful
angry
suicidal
conciliatory
rational
irresponsible
unconcerned
how many lurk beneath the surface
fissures emerge
icebergs shoot free
crackling like gunshots
shooting off in baffling directions
incomprehensible
David is disintegrating
his fractal web of lies
isolating him
removing from his life
every avenue of escape
insanity
never pretty
