Dying

 Dying does not make this world free for us

Lying is an excuse to see the light past it's prime

Crying does not free this world from our farce

Entwining with the lies, and turning on a dime


Forgiveness is a shadow of illusions made in haste

And stillness of my breath is rage contorted

Darkness fills us, as agonizingly more time we waste

Fairness, a spoiled fruit of those to loss resorted


Dying does not make forgiveness free

My rage upon a loosened breath spews lies

Your tears are burden to this world and me

Cocooned in twine our shadowy amalgam dies


Entwined,

Still lying while dying

Turning tricks

on crooked dime,

This world embraces you and I

And then, absolved

It shines despite, and all the time.
