yet another poem, this time inspired by my girlfriend saying something about lies ironically. I hope you guys like it, I figured it can hopefully tie you over for a little while as I prepare to write everything else I owe you.

People's lives are made up of Mist and Memories.  
 For, that is all anyone ever truly sees.  
 We spend our lives walking through the mist.  
 Never seeking to see what lies beyond our outstretched wrist.

We spend our time looking at the memories we've made.  
 Never searching for new paths which could be laid  
 Only giving into the delusions of the past which we crave  
 Always hoping that there is some shred of it we can save

Our memories are like the mist  
 Ever changing, with our every wish  
 Yet the core of them flips out of our grip like a fish  
 We wade through them, seeing only, what's in our grasp  
 Never straying into our clasp

Like Mist, our memories cloud the eye.  
 Causing many, of us to lie  
 Just like the difference in our memory  
 The mist is what lies between you and me

Hiding what's in our hearts  
 The mist lets us all play our parts  
 While our memory  
 Helps remind us of the pain lost in history

Memory helps us feel light and joy  
 While the mist guides us in circles, just like a toy  
 The mist calms and soothes who we are  
 Even as memory helps us go far

Life is made of Mist and Memory  
 So part the curtain and walk to me  
 If you do  
 I can promise you  
 Nothing but light and joy  
 and that I will never use you as nothing more than a toy.

For you see  
 I try not to live my life by the whims of the mist and my memory  
 I have opened my eyes as wide as they can go  
 And thanks to that, I have come to see  
 You are the one and only love for me.
