Stellar Blanket

I like to pretend I'm sane
A pastime of ever flying shame
I hide behind like eyes of steal
Mental devour of fictional meal
I pretend to lie of childlike wonder
Giver perpetual ignorance ponder
I'm too old for this simile
I'm too young to be scared of me

Listen to the old wind
Echoes of innocence end
Journey along to faraway places
Fill the holes with empty spaces

Have I lost my way yet again
Leaking out lies in the hearts of men
Passing simple windows, seeking retribution
Reflections are lensed, decided confusion
Flippant realities expunged whole-hearted
My leaving soul, seas mentally parted
Forget to forgive, bold to hold-on
Everything repeats until the sun is common

Leave me alone
Hide in my stars
