Pure Truth
Monday 15 February 2010 11:25 PM
Darkness envelops me with no hope for a light
I am in a state of beleaguer, exhausted by the fight
I sit with myself and brood, what could it of been?
Everything I dreamed about, gone and ill foreseen
I was deceived for a long time, being set in a trance
Small angels shielding my eyes, all they could do was dance
You were becoming, a real charm
But that did no good, more so a lot more harm
It was simply a mere dalliance
There was no spiritual alliance
Our love was dulcet and fake
As healthy as a lolly, a real mistake
However when I was around you I was filled with ebullience
You were my elixir, creating a real resilience
When I saw you I thought it was ethereal
A spectral illusion, too good to be true
You seemed to float with a true eloquence
It truly was an anomalistic magnificence
I was blinded by light
Impervious to the poison of spite
The envelopment of elysian overcame my soul
I was twisted to dig my very own hole
I was dumbed by the redolence of your scent
Your body was like a holy and almighty sacrament
A sense of longing consumed my heart
Longing for acceptance is simply the start
It was never to be, I realize that now
It seemed so perfect… I ask myself how?
Our destinies were entwined
Now all I can do is simply rewind
Cut away the past like a murderous cancer
It was merely a flickering flame, a one-night dancer
The grief felt like an eternity, severing part of my soul
Now all that I am left with is a gaping hole
A consuming void lethargically growing in size
Like a cancerous tumor, causing my very souls demise
All I can do is wait as it slowly consumes me
No feeling, no hate just being inertly lonely
This must not be sempiternal!
Entry into denial
I see a light
A way out of this eternal night
Light is never the truth, existence is an illusion
What is life? It surely cannot be this everlasting strife?
I am the deceived
By all, I have never received
Highs and lows ENOUGH!
ENOUGH LIES!
The mind internally cries
What is the truth? Where is the truth?
Any man would dissolve if he encountered the truth!
The mental state is an interesting thing
We internally beg for a beginning
Why are we what we are, that we must ignorantly follow woes?
We are a peril to ourselves, hazardous foes
We stand in front of cupid’s arrow
And we get mowed down in the heart, left completely fallow
We see illusions of the truth making everything false
Is it power? Is it respect? Everything guised to be FALSE!
True life? FALSE!
The truth? LIES!
A being without hope is a twisted thing indeed
It lives a life with no requirement, no physical need
Is hope real? Hope of a better tomorrow?
Or are we all being deceived by her, the fabulous guise?
Who is the alpha and the omega?
What are we supposed to do in the middle? Simply put, silently linger
Life is finite, there comes an end
What is after that… wait and depend
