The Sin of Vanity

The Sin of Vanity

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

Very different and very random, kind of crazy

"

Run run

As fast as you can

You know I’ll never catch you

Or so you know

You think you know

But I know that I can

 

From black to white

To blue to crimson

See the many colored stains

They’re drying now

On someone’s curtains

The image straight from

Your shattered brain

 

All the pretty lies you’ve told

All the whispers

Cried in vain

Drown now in your amber solace

Sap pours down

Like poisoned rain

 

Crystal clear

The world becomes

Or so you know

You think you know

And now we find out

All your secrets

The ones that you

Would never show

"All the pretty lies you’ve told
All the whispers
Cried in vain
Drown now in your amber solace
Sap pours down
Like poisoned rain"
