You know
I promised you
And lied
My lips formed words,
Vows
I never meant to keep
And you were just
The slowly spinning
Agony inspiring
Rip in time and space
We crucified, who died
As moments passed
And peoples faces carved their places
In the world
But words and worlds are not all that different
And you were ever only this
A single glimpse
A second past the time
Deliberation
Release
I lied
But not from malicious intent
Or any sort of mass manipulation,
Our schemes impure,
Hearts undying
No
When I promised,
When I lied
I
Did it only ever out
Of love

And that only ever
Made it worse
When truth’s
Inevitable time
Came
