Self - Deception
Darkness...
Until I make out the shadows
by the light of a candle.
The wick, it wears thin.
Flickering schemes on the wall.
Disillusioned by the glow,
and I lose myself once more.
I see the truth.
I know it.
But I allow this fusing wax
to slowly drip
onto my polluted soul.
It burns....
occluding me with transparent lies.

The lies that I see through
and I deem myself to believe.
There is no escape.
There is no more light.
Only the darkness,
where I am kept safe.
