Wants and needs,
heart that bleeds.
Overcoming my lies,
stifling cries.
Right now, right now,
I wonder how?
Heart that cries,
heart that dies.
Languish in the foul.
Stripped of my howl.
Heart fades and tries,
to forget all these lies.
Hope lies in no more.
But can’t close that door.
So I live with my lies,
for brief jaunts to the skies.
