Course

When I see

The world around me

Is falling through

A hole in honesty

I realise

That I cannot follow.

I must hold on to my truth

Lest the lies

Make my smiles hollow

But I do wish

I could let go
Of my bounds

And then I would

Be able to

Suffer in ignorance
Like the rest could.

And I have seen myself suffer.
But I will take more pain.
If it means there is a chance.
That there will be a truth,

Shining in the rain.

I feel bitter with gratitude
At the joys you have brought me
And I cannot forget
The way you sought me
Ought from the crowd

Lonely to you was unique
Ugly was beautiful
And tears vanished into laughter

But as to all things
On this world

It did die.
But my heart still sings.
For a floating feeling.
Of you and I.
