Naivete

Indeed you are self righteous

in assertions of your truths

You may believe your ethics

be they small and so uncouth

So sip your sweetened mocktail

use my heart as your vermouth

And alas there is no trouble

for in trouble there is truth


Build your walls of holy fortitude

Pray hard now for your soul

On the mountain there is solitude

Pure of body, fractioned soul

So I sit here now, still lonely

And I wonder, when you fall

Will you think back on this moment?

Will you think of me at all?


There was no me, not ever

unblemished hands don't touch, you see

When faced with your desire

You forgot there is a me

A friend you never were

Friend, no you could never be

For when faced with your desire

You chose your hunger over me

And in scalding passions fire

We could never ever be

We tangoed ever higher

Up that gingko kink go tree

So afraid to lose, sweet liar

Sure is good you don't like me

Sing the hymns in righteous choir

But I've left. You won't find me.
