Masquerading twilight
Before and after
Temptations like a riptide
Are a trap the devil in disguise
Love is a camouflage
That eventually fades
Endless drought
The gig is up
Unfortunate truth the enemy
Is lurking everywhere
I proclaim my allegiance
To the creator of life
I want a varnish
That won’t stain
I want to shine like the sun
On any given day
To find my rightful peacefulness
And soak in it
Tell my innocence
Is fully restored complete me
Echo chambers like a sonic boom
I’d welcome eternal silence
Over any of this
May I wake
With no recollection a new me
And a clean mind
My ego is bruised
Heart is shattered in pieces
Convincing myself of the things
That just won’t happen
I’m exhausted at the thoughts
Of becoming a
Content happy being
You messiah have all
The magnified authority
Please grant me permission
To join you beside your throne
And give my soul the purity
It has always longed for and deserved
