Such a Lie

**if you have not read The Tears I’ll Never Cry, the allusion may not add up. Make sure to read that one before this.**

I took a chance

I took a stride;

I made a fall

It’s hell on earth

The truth is strong

Fierce in its depth;

Like a lion’s roar.

Cruel in its words,

That is the truth

Looking from here—

Is the myopic glance,

A future will fail

This song nevermore

Never say never,

Never always comes to pass

Forget the damned tears, that I shan’t e’er fall

They’ve fallen, and mean nothing.

Forsake those tears,

That will never fall

Resent them – though- as you cry

It is much more kind,

To let them be,

Not having fallen, encamp them more peace

Good-bye seems right,

Yet so do these tears—

The tears I’ll never cry.

From the truth doth appear

Such wretched tears?
