Your stories enrapture me, little pockets of golden dust,

That I call a truce to my war within.

While even with the pain searing through my slain mortal body,

Truth speaks to me in such a pathetic tone of beautiful

I'm once again enamoured by your promises,

for there's no one else I trust. 


I die a thousand deaths, 

Just as I lose myself within me.

I live a thousand years, in

the shackles of your words,

Freedom takes me its adoptee.
