Veiled Facade ~feat VesicaPiscis~

looking into the night, 
breathing in the fog, 
reaching up to arc the light, 


seeing the silver lining, 
its circle cut...
deciding 


illuminated by your might, 
searching for reason and rhyming


could you uncover my riddles? 
then just rob me blind? 
give every reason that I'll need, 
to never look behind


could you make my next breath worth taking, 
discovering truth in all its guises, 
embrace an existence worth making


or will you go on with your faking... 
over-inflating the lie? 
love me despite scrutiny, forsaking

...reality...

will you say that you love me? 
though you're ignorant to the truth? 
having never seen my authentic self? 
are you unaware of what you do?


pull it from under... 
never needed the rug... 
never mind my needs, 
just give it the tug


hard to see the silver lining, 
when what I am shifts in defining


when the mask I wear, a token unfair, 
something just for you I invented, 
only loving me when it's there


could you make me believe your fantasy?
would I choose to dwell in delusion?
to keep pace with my vanity

whilst I inhume my sanity

to believe in a love my soul knows is untrue
could I, 
would I, 
choose the illusion


tis what's required,
...to be with you


Oh how your words hurt me so, 
both of us knowing the truth, 
they wrench at my soul


I accept the responsibility, 
blamed, though not your fault,
as the fault lies in my adaptability, 


my inane nature to indulge...
