The Smiling Lie

Contemplate

the everyday,

come and fade away,

in the light reborn.

Have a heart,

for endlessly

exploding galaxies

shower us now.

 

I don’t remember

a time unlike this one I’ve known.

Trust is just

a memory.

I’m losing what I’ve known I’ve done

in to the wind.

Just a chance

for me to regain

all those things I wish I’d known.

 

Run away

from innocence.

Divided on my own accord.

Trust in just an endless lie.

A smile pulls back

on rows of teeth,

shaper than

my ability

to run from all that I have done.

 

I’ll learn to live.

Somehow in

this fading day

I’ll reach up to the Sun

and reclaim

my ailing ways

from the eyes of the smiling lie.

 

Memories;

they’ll always fade

and pain will still remain.

The body heat,

the savagery,

of love and lust and blood.

 

I will exist.

I will exist.

I will exist.

I will exist.
