When Lies Run Deep

Between your truth and mine
Your needs and theirs
Embedded within wanton desires
Coated with your fears and mine
We forget compassion
Lo, we lose love
We get sucked into the chaos
The chaos, the helplessness

Between your truth and mine
I find a gulf of loneliness
A valley of lies that run deep!
