love cohesion

i've spoken words i've not heard myself say
and had arms around me that were not felt
i've been an obstruction without being in the way
and i've lost with the winning card dealt
i've sailed across oceans with no water in sight
and drowned in a vast desert sky

i've argued the point until wrong became right
and made love in the face of a lie
i've stumbled drunk without touching a drink
and set fire to a forest with no trees
convincing myself to ignore what i think
i've murdered from down on my knees

i've wandered for years in insomniac sleep
living nightmares with eyes open wide
so i know that some things seen through the eyes
will often be different inside
among all of the things that aren't what they seem
one will remain true through and through

purely the deepest and sweetest of loves
my total immersion in you
