Lies
Please, come and water us with lies,
for we breathe too long, where a hint of a smile.
Water us to the point, where we drown inside a life.
Give me more, for there is no peace inside my mind.
It is hard to be mute, in a world of loud laughter,
for I can not join, or speak my pain after.
I can not find reason, for the blades that they sharpen,
nor can I see love, for the wounds they dishearten.
Amazing, that I swim through an ocean,
yet I’m lonely, as if the ones who could speak blurred in motion.
Perhaps, as I stand on steady ground, any other soul stays high,
but once I look up, they all hide behind a sky.
For that star, I fear she can’t hear,
and as I look around, there is nobody near.
So perhaps, with my eyes closed, I should dive.
Maybe I too will grow, if they water me with lies.
