Tired of trying,
In love with your lies,

All sugar coated with your colourless words,
That I dipped in my false hope

and see his smile for real
to be in his arms for comfort

Betwixt and between us
lies an immense untraversable realm
of never knowable forbidding possibilities

parched to the core,
the mist...

Time track obscure.
