Let Me

Let me sing
A hymn of pain and cries
Masked in tunes; joy
A symphony of distorted hearts
A melody, enticing and harsh

Let me believe
In hope, in the power of will
In a future better than ever still
In this make belief tale
Of good over bad, and evil’s inevitable fail

Let me celebrate
This empty moment
This needless interjection!
“A dream come true”
Another epic deception

Let me feel
This fallacious love
The words, the touch
Reality, a pathetic crush
How no one ever means, this effing much

Let me be
This serene bubble
This soothing facade
This warming treachery
The best joke till date
