Inversion

After awhile everyone comes back home again
After awhile sometimes you just don't care
Unless there is reason for hope
which there rarely is
and
After awhile some people open their eyes
After awhile some never do unless
there is reason for hope
and
After awhile half truths turn into lies
After awhile lies leave scars
Unless there is hope
without reason
and
After awhile smiles become cold masks
After awhile facades crumble
unless there is blind
unreasonable hope
and
Unless it is blind
unreasonable hope
After awhile will wither and die
After awhile life resumes its petty pace…
