Even When I Know You Lie to Me

The beat of my heart makes it difficult
not to be blinded
by the reality of my own thoughts
when they are broken down within the sounds
of my dreams.
Yet, no one hears the wind
running through my mind
and I find nothing is
as it seems.

All I do is race to hide from the smoke of lies
to find subtle truth
inside of uncertainties colors
but what I come across
means nothing to you.
When I drift off to sleep I bleed mirrored glass
until I forget about the bruises
for a moment
or two.

I want someone to listen to the words I speak
even when breezes fill their hands
and time goes by quicker
than the air they tasted.
No longer do I wish to live and breathe
In this life of empty rooms
where my heartbeat
is wasted.

Tonight I sit and weave faith upon grounds
where forever
I have searched through eyes
that paint my mistakes with words
of ecstasy.
Yet still, the beat of my heart
makes it difficult
not to be blinded by love,
even when
I know....
you lie to me.

Such great passion in these words Neva. "No longer do I wish to live and breathe in this life of empty rooms'... that line speaks to me so well. ;)

We may not hear the wind running through your mind, but we all certainly hear and are captivated by the words you write.

Another great weave my friend. :)

So many emotion running through this excellent piece!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A crafed piece indeed, it lays to those that react within the emotions given, well done, good read.

wow. So much emotion in your writing- it almost made me feel like I was living through it again- I too have been completely blinded by love. He lied, yet still I couldn't leave even though I wanted more.
I particularly love these lines: "I want someone to listen to the words I speak" and "where my heartbeat is wasted"
You have done an amazing job at encapsulating those emotions in such a beautiful piece of writing. Thank you for sharing :)

Amazing poem. The constant battle of emotion played with the battle of senses. All for the sake of love.

The last two lines explain it all you choose to accept the lie as truth because you want to.
