and forever
shaped as eternity
you were
however wonderful before
ten times as wonderful
as the reality you are in
but however much i want this
it is not true
ruined by travesty
so however much i tell myself
about the lie that i am in
i speak coded about the sea
as i notice
how you notice me
performed by the lie
i am in
because of your reality
it is a lie
and by time as i explain to you
about the sea
the room where we are
caves in
turns blue
fading grey
inside the reality you are
and ruined anyway
and as we both reach understanding
you said ‘so this is the sea’
your wondering eyes
melted in with anything i trust
as we understood it all
the more i wanted to fall
deep in
but however perfectly understanding we will reach
it will never happen
for i am the lie
vs your reality
so i walked away
as my world caved in
