Honest Lies
Honest lies or hidden truths
Both are much the same
You told me I have your all
But your all is not with you
It was long ago given away
The all that you now hold
Is but all of nothing
And now nothing is what I hold
Though its shell is more beautiful still
Than azure seas reflecting glowing sun
But like sunsets in seas
Our union was one that cannot truly be
Distance comes between them
If it did not then neither could truly be
The suns fires would burn
The seas waters would smother
You were the sun to my sea
And like the sun
Your fire did not burn just for me
Both are much the same
You told me I have your all
But your all is not with you
It was long ago given away
The all that you now hold
Is but all of nothing
And now nothing is what I hold
Though its shell is more beautiful still
Than azure seas reflecting glowing sun
But like sunsets in seas
Our union was one that cannot truly be
Distance comes between them
If it did not then neither could truly be
The suns fires would burn
The seas waters would smother
You were the sun to my sea
And like the sun
Your fire did not burn just for me
