live the lie
Crystal balls smooth
the wrinkles of time to feel
and gradually know what it's like to live.....
I dreamt of questions I didn't want to be...
I rode through a place called heaven
but I couldn't stop for the scenery...
I smelled the breeze,
but it wouldn't stick to my senses
just a couple of miles away
from my headstone to be freed
to be okay again, needing to be.
I've meant to be spiritually born
to reign under a sky,
to shine as a sacrifice
and then...
I could get close to you,
to begin the life of a lie… again
to find the truth of you.
