maybe I live a lie
but it is only I
that is lied to
I hunger for closeness
for someone to share secrets with
I keep believing this lie
that someday someone
will bring me to my knees
walking out of the mists
that surround my dreams
becoming my reality, my peace
I would rather drown in the lies
that surround my heart
than surface in truth
where there is no one for me
