The Illusion of Pathways

In the hallways of yesterday's dreams,
Shadows flicker, play hide and seek.
The ugliest truth whispers through the seams,
Paths untraveled, futures bleak...

Carved candles, melting doubts,
Echoes of a truth untold.
Design your maze, chant your shouts,
Through the darkness, the heart grows cold.

These are not roads paved of gold,
Just illusions dressed in silver lace.
The ugliest truths, daring and bold,
Follow you in this desolate space.
