Clear eyes

-Holo

With clear eyes I see everything.
There is no such thing as truth.
You tell me only to comfort me.
I can no longer listen to you.

Stop it, just stop it. Your words
are poison, ringing in my head.
I don’t need you; get away from me!
Let me shut my ears, let me cry.

Let me suffer, let me die in peace.
Don’t save me, don’t hold on.
I’ll drag you down to hell if you do.
The darkness surrounds me.

I am alone, but I am not.
I have myself, and only myself.
I see the world through clear eyes.
I see every twist and turn.

I will walk this path alone.
With clear eyes, with my heart
on my sleeves. I’ll hurt over
and over and over and over

but I will stand up and brace the pain,
for that is what I am, a masochist,
a sadist, with only my own rules to
guide me, and no one else.

Because they are all lies:
words of poison, of betrayal,
spilling from those sweet lips…
Should I cut your tongue off?

Because with clear eyes,
I can see through everything
and you are lying to me. I don’t
live in your fucked up fantasies.
