Hopelessly
I'll cling
To every sound
To every song
To every lie I've been told
It eases the soul
Scattered thoughts
Unfocused eyes
Why bother with this sullied mind
I'll just 'member then
To memories
To hold onto for infinity
Sempiternally mine
Each and every lie
I'll let it be
I'll let me sleep
To dream on blissfully
Bleak nights no longer
Only happiness and wonder
From that simple suggestion
But
Therein lies the dichotomous
How can lies be wondrous
Without forsaking my heart so
The catch is then
No heart for happiness' gold
No
Maybe
No lies were ever told.
