The Truth I Also a Lie

The truth is also a lie .

Falling through, 
an infinite pit of lies.
Absorbed into the, 
brightness of its, 
dark soul 
Tearing through the, 
the strings of hope, 
that we clutched to 

Darker it gets, 
flinging us further, 
away from the truth. 
We breathe in lies, 
because,
 we ran out of truth .
They keep resounding, 
their emptiness in ,
our eyes
And lose the speck of hope, 
in our hearts 

The sun, 
set never to rise again.
 Behind it's shadows, 
we lie to rely on lies, 
fed to us by, 
the cupidity of superiority 
We are blinded, 
by the brightness, 
of the darkness,
the lies reflect 

We keep falling, 
for lies, 
because we forget, 
we are the bottom, 
of the pit. 
The truth is shadowed, 
by the fear, 
that encroaches, 
on our courage 

We now mourn, 
the acrimonies of, 
the solemn lies deeper, 
than the truth left, 
in forlon hope, 
because, 
we look up to the lies.

Withered as
The weeping soul that 
Dries after spill the tears that rinse
The acrimonies that settle down deep inside as
Thorns that pinch the fibers of your being until Are removed, leaving scars forever

The Mourning Phoenix, Josephine

The Aphotic semblance rises against her face
The king of shame reigns over all
Her Hallows are mine
We are the same, Josephine
Explain to me this sacrificial empathy
Josephine

"I'm living; the slowest way to die"
Hold on, my Josephine, everything you feel, is killing me
"I'm the lacunous lover, I must go to my ashened grave
In death I will lay, every word, every pain
I'm the victim, I can forgive
I can't go on - don't feel their wrath meant for me"

My name was meant for elegies
Not for the Wardens' acrimonies 
I can't look at a man without seeing a killer
I must go-
Not for the love of the death 
For the fear of life"

My Seraphic Josephine
Through the ashes you will claim victory 
Don't you say you must die
Elysia is in your grave
Through the ashes you will claim victory
My Seraphic Josephine
You are The Mourning Phoenix
