Loves Deceit

Pleasure turns to the pains,

of the lessons learned fromt the strain brain, 

About whether to love is humane

In it's touch

These thoughts are like salmon

Swimming upstream

In the tears of your deceit, 

Fighting the current hurt

That kills more than is creaked

By the chaos of our interwined emotions

Chaotic because the anchor

Of Ero's arrow has been plucked from the vessel

Of my undying infatuation.

Separation not as simple as the 

distance between us,

My mind no longer possessed

By the demons

That had been the overseers

Of my enslavement to your lies.

The seeds of these lies.

Rooted so deeply

They have cracked the foundation

Of what we once shared, 

Allowing the faith in us I had sealed inside

To gush out like a river,

Ripping the image of our future together

From my thoughts

As violently and as brutally

As if it were surrounded in darkness

But I refuse to be swallowed by it,

My loneliness like the night air.

Invisible to the eye, oblivious to the touch

In it's cold uncomfortableness

Yet if I could do it all over again,

I'd do it in the same skin I'm in.

To lay down and let love die

Just stay down and let love lie.

No, no, not I

I'll stay around and let love fly,

Even though I have seen it's darkest from deceit.

Nothing else could taste this warm

Or feel this sweet.
