From where I am, and what I see
Parting feels far wiser than a phony life
Farewells much merrier than a smooch of strife
Yet you can refute as much as you want
Deceive as long as you wish
With lies told amid a
plastic smile
With promises to be my pillion till the eternal mile
But I hate to admit
Your honest lies, kept me going
Those fairy tales we were meant to bring alive
Those sandcastles meant to be our hive
Like magic, they felt real sometimes,
For I really was nothing but absolutely naive
Though I know
It’s not safe to
tread alone
And your mirage can still be my own
But alone is how I wish to be
Cos when the arc lights dim,
And the curtains roll
I wish that stage be empty
Cleansed of your ghosts and all your stain
From all the feelings that you faithfully feign
Coz not just in death but in our parting too,
All I plead is a little less pain
All I plead is a little less pain
