Evict

That painted picture hides some tricks.
Disguishing scars...
No one sees as camougflaged.

Nick picking pieces of it to bits.
Exposing peeks of it to a past...
As chips of plaster
Fell from where it hung real fast.

A tension hidden had heated again.
Something unmentioned was beginning to win.
Indecision and conflict,
Was rushed back in.

Aborting all the grand plans had.
Leaving renovations premature...
To sit abandoned,
Next to faith and hope trashed!
Preferring disturbances,
They love to insure for them would last!
And although this was sick...
They could not from them evict this quick!
