Lie

I fought to follow my desire,

and in the end, I got burned.

Now standing on this pyre,

I realize it wasn't for you I yearned.

Pushing my ideals and aims on you mistakenly,

my love for you was a love of complacency.

I am sick and there is no life in me,

renew me please and set me free.

I pled ignorance as my case,

but I saw the truth in your eyes, your face.

I hurt you, and it is my everlasting disgrace.
