Still Life

As I keep this moment locked inside,
unable to escape from my dreams
it becomes too real to come true anymore
nothing is pure outside this mind.
This reality becomes what I can't wish upon
the truth broken open to forfeit my eyes,
this pain is brought on by you, almost alone
but I still can't see past your ultimate beauty.

Closed up attitude
is what I speak, only for you
soft spoken and loud to me
words ceased, but still they blind me.
My creation is gone now
how long, is something I hope
not how, that still hurts
I can't confess to your choices.
Your blacked out eyes still visible
never fading, never ending
choked in lies, still breathing
I can try, but never ignore them.

In all your days of abused notions
not a single were close to being true.
I couldn't have done that,
never would think of it
could never do that to you.
You gave in too easily,
gave out on me too quick
faltered in all your emptiness,
still drowning in that shame.
