A Self Inflicted Lie
A Self Inflicted Lie
I tell myself 'you are in love'
As I press my lips to hers
Boundless joy fills my heart
In her embrace my memory blurs
What god has blessed me with true love
At what price has this angel been snared
How wonderful to be in her embrace
Such fortune can not be compared
I tell myself 'you are loved'
As our souls are spiritually bound
And should I search around the world
No truer love could be found
The greatest peace I've ever known
Has arrived within my heart
Nothing left within this world
Can make us split a part
This precious gem too pure to grasp
Like stars upon the sea
Yet now we are so tightly clasped
There is no her or me
