The Treachery in Design

by

Daniel Chapa

A threatening void was coming and suddenly it split the air
The absence of a train of thought consumed her blackened hair

The completeness of her final thoughts scaled a steep incline
Be careful what you wish for, I felt the treachery of design.

I was free of form and focus and traveling in style
She took me to a darker place and forced a pleasant smile

The angles in her easy eyes helped my words to redefine
Be careful what you wish for, there’s always treachery in design.

Several seconds slipped across the lengthening divide
The distance in between us finally forced us to decide

The beginning of the ending always needs a sharp decline
Be careful what you wish for, I’ve seen the treachery in design.

As the final shadows float across the lovers from her past
I hear the truthful answers to the questions that I ask

A calmness in my thoughts causes our hearts to live sublime
Be careful what you wish for, and fear the treachery of design.

Someone stole a glance into his determined dirty soul
The sadness often present there left her questioning her role

If only we could travel back through endless space and time
Be careful what you wish for, there is always treachery in design.

While tempting fate I fell into a raging shallow prayer
The destiny I dreamt upon followed us everywhere

One moment with a doubtful future, bedded down benign
I am careful what I wish for and the treachery in design.
