LIE TO ME

Lie to me , beautiful Muse , Lie to me ,

Lie to me , as we walk together in your pristine woods

Lie to me , as I watch you speak , only half listening as I marvel at your ethereal beauty

Lie to me as we lay together , looking up at the stars

I know the Truth already ,  I only seek Lies from you

Don’t show me a mirror , O Muse , and don’t tell me I am ugly ,  I know that already

Instead paint me a portrait , a portrait of a handsome prince .Make me believe I am that Prince

Don’t laugh at my life , O Muse , and call it pointless , I know that already

Instead tell me tales , where I slay Dragons and save the townsfolk .Make me believe I am that Hero

Don’t call me names , O Muse , and tell me I am unlovable , I know that already

Instead spin me a yarn , tell me how easy it is to fall in love with me. Make me believe I am that Lover.

Don’t be cross with me , O Muse , and tell me I am vindictive , I know that already

Instead , tell me a story , where I have grace enough to forgive my enemies. Make me believe I am that Saint.

Don’t ridicule me , O Muse , and call me short sighted , I know that already

Instead give me a false account , where I have wisdom and foresight beyond my years. Make me believe I am that Prophet

Don’t look down upon me , O Muse , and call me a coward , I know that already

Instead tell me a fib , where I face down entire armies alone. Make me believe I am that Brave -Heart

Of what use the Truth , when it only paralyzes. Of what use is it , when it only ties you down

Instead , beautiful Muse , let me soar . Tell me Lies and ignite my mind .

Free my imagination , O Muse , it is now held hostage by the Truth

The Truth is arrogant , she thinks she owns Reality

Make me believe your Lies , beautiful Muse , and give them power ,And together let us watch these Lies remake Reality

Lie to me at Dawn , beautiful Muse , then again at Dusk

Lie to me in cruel Winter , then again in sweet summer.

Lie to me till I find Beauty . Lie to me till I find Purpose

Lie to me and watch me find Love. Lie to me and marvel at me finding Grace

Lie to me so you can bask in my Wisdom. Lie to me so you can take strength in my Courage.

Lie to me beautiful Muse , till you no longer need to Lie to me.
