eruptions-internal revelations
falsely speak liars
madness creates cowards foil
turned friendship ended
also sprach zarathustra-richard strauss
you killed me knowing
trust suffered fall from great height
inside you must rot
betrayed is friendship
worse that you can do for truth
butterfly’s wings pulled
harm you i did not
hurt me you tried trigger struck
bleeds from hole within
