The moon will not
rise beyond this horizon of lies
Weary eyes shall
wait but still it will not
The darkness groans
under the weight of the truths you once told
I sold my heart for
a pound of gold that would never age as I grow old
I waited for the
sun, and then the moon.
I long for you but
my lips will never betray that to you.
Hidden behind a
veil, I believed I could unravel you.
A powerful
attraction while you played a game of distraction.
Like an elaborate
scene crafted to keep me keen.
The clouds are on
fire But beneath them I'm dancing,
Even in the rain
there's a ray of light that leaves me smiling.
You were just that, my oxygen in this bottomless water tank, this
endless struggle to breathe.
But now the sun will not
rise beyond this horizon of lies.
And neither will the
memories and dreams of empty photo frames filled with invisible smiles.
