FRUITION
Skimmed stubble
Residue
Abandoned dreams
Course
Ripped screaming from sensitive cells
Lay dejected
In the cold porcelain sink
Clean shaven genesis
Stinging razor burn
No human hand can soothe
Dramatic lies
Once again
He fooled himself
No hopes of ever coming true
Fruition
Fleeting façade
Shimmers in the distance
Momentarily out of reach
