Myopic Eyes


Myopic eyes stare through the vapours
Froth from the broth, consumed
Truth in the lies, assumed
The contagious silence
The stinging grief
The paleness in his life
The staleness of his existence
The demons float into him
Into his heart, it creeps
Before he becomes aware

I don't think there is truth in lies. Just me. I would not want staleness in my existence. I hope you do not feel like that.

As the veil falls away enlightening the mind of the true nature of being.

Makes me think

there is so much to this one. its the feel of seeing things so clearly yet not, seeing but not feeling, lost but not broken... perhaps I'm a bit off there, I feel like I'm missing something here, but I will figure it out :)

This reminds me of the lonely feeling people have sometimes. You have a way with words.
