The rain falls in drizzles
Pitter-pattering on the roof
As I lay on my bed
Naked with the truth
A warm body slumbers beside me
With white blanket, I drape myself
Ashamed of the bared lies
My feet brings me towards the window
I press my palm on the cold glass
A mirage reveals itself
From a near distance
My emotions betray me
As tears trickle down
The contorted silhouette disappears
Washed away by the rain
Into the drain of lost love
The vision disappears
Black wings tear my skin
I fly over open meadows
As masked creatures surround me
With deafening cacophony of cruel laughs
My wings turn into ashes
Carried away by the cold wind
I run in endless circles
Lies, fakery, and deceit trailing behind
Catching my breath
I reach the edge of the precipice
The abyss yawning to swallow me
A hand reaches out
But I fear to trust
The last string of chance
Presents itself in a streak of light
Yet I allow myself to fall
Into unfathomable darkness
My eyes open in a jolt
Just another dream…
Drops of sweat crawl above my brow
I look at the naked figure beside me
And feel a sharp twinge of pain
And inevitable remorse
I clasp my face with both palms
And sob silently into the night.
