Choose to lie
A bitter lie, yet so attached.
As I swim across this ocean of a single iris blossom,
I set my heart's sail to you.
Aware of the pain, neglect is the remedy i choose.
Aware of the awaiting bloodstain, a lie is my medicine.
Aware of the misery, closed eyes are my allies.
as my body burns, my heart melts through the ashes.
determined to unite, despite the demise, with u.
I look back at my soul, coughing up blood.
I say to myself, ignorance is bliss.
My heart's compass withering away, little by little,
but my heart's mast and sail, ever so steadfast,
strides through the burning corpse of my soul,
refusing to let go of the bitter lie,
that is you.
I look back and realize there's nothing left,
I look forward and see that the bitter lie melted away,
in my burning embers.
