Ode to our failure

What is it about us, that allows fear, pride, and anger to creep into our hearts? Once they're there, they wrap cold dead tentacles around your soul. They strangle out love, and replace it with bitter regret. They squeeze out all compassion, and leave a shallow shell where simple love used to reside. The longer they stay, the further their tentacles grow, until they take over your mind and turn your focus inward. When left too long, empathy dies and you're left alone surrounded by a trail of brokeness and tears.
