I can hold you In my arms And tell you All the lies You've been longing To hear And mean Every word I say Because those lies Are the same lies I've been dreaming Of, for so long And we'll lose Ourselves In blind Blissful Ignorance
This piece is included in my poetry collection COLDER, available at Amazon.
The Stories In Between 
Hold me. Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me, how I adore our beautiful lies.

A great illustration of how we want “the truth”, yet it is only specific “truths” that we REALLY want to hear.

Oh yeah. The truth generally sucks, I don’t want any part of that!

Eventually we start believing our own lies and mistaking them for the truths. I very much loved this piece today! Especially,
“And mean
Every word
I say
Because those lies
Are the same lies
I’ve been dreaming
Of, for so long”
Thanks for the share! ~K

A gorgeous writing! So intricate, and the juxtaposition skillfully used;
lies/blissful ignorance while the lovers are longing, dreaming apparently the same dream.
Exquisite!

Oh…E
I can easily say, this is my favourite piece I’ve ever read of yours.
It’s INCREDIBLY romantic, but a little dangerous and a little scary in a way just because we want so badly to be told certain sweet, hot things and we wish and plead that they are not lies but still…
I am rambling and predict you will answer me with your usual thank you, lol.
Just know you touched me with this one

Sometimes we would rather live in blissful pretend ignorance than face the painful realities of life. Because when we do face the hurtful truth, we end up being shattered into pieces :,)
