A little Lie

I told myself one little lie
Planted it’s seed inside
Hoping it would grow
To cover the truth

This lie was my protection
Their to build the illusion
A wall to block what was real
Here in this beating heart

As I breathe the lie
Won’t grow past this truth
Don’t know if it lust or love
I’m caught in the maelstrom

This mind won’t stop thinking
My eyes can’t go blind
Nor my soul keep from burning
The feelings never go numb

In these moments
Just existing to be here
Catching a glimpse of beauty
Steadying the fire inside
