In Your Lies

May I be deceived
By the lies you weave
To remain in darkness
Suspended on a harness

Swinging wild and free
Caring not what I see
Than be caught in truth
Trapped by reality's roof

Swimming in dreams
Hoping you tear it not at the seams
This illusion you gave
I wish to keep to my grave

But life has its ways
Dispersing the haze
All that's left
Is but cold bereft

A stinging abscence
Shrouded in dark cadence
As the walk continues
Loneliness in lieu

The trees whisper
While the air's filled with laughter
Watching the trudge I do
Of a man blind without a clue

Wishing once again
For dreams spent
To be lost in your words
Feeling as free as a caged bird
