I prayed to see the truth within the mirage
I yearned to hear your heart beneath the sweet talk
I hoped to feel the itch beneath the mask
My prayers were answered
But then,
The truth was too heavy to behold
And I,
I could not follow the tempo of your lies
I felt emotions so raw,
a skinning was inevitable
a stripping of all I ever heard or saw or felt
still, doubts plague me daily
What I see is not what is
That nothing good lies within you
That lies and pretense live rent free in your head
The tangibility of it all permeates to my very bones
A stinging reminder that this is not a dream
To know you for who you are
Means to love you for who you are
Everyday I live with the fact
I can never unhear or unfeel what is already done
Prayer is the key they said
But I don’t know what to pray anymore
I prayed to see the truth within the mirage
But then I couldn’t handle the truth
