What is the difference <br />between a lie and a cheat? <br />Does it make one a liar <br />and the other a cheater? <br />Or both are catalysts of deceit? <br />Answer me stalker I pray thee! <br />Just to end this quest for a day <br />But I am not a stalker you see! <br />Just a sojourner from moon to mid-day <br />Who tried to kill a devil on my bed <br />Instead, quenched my thirst for 'newly wed' <br />So I constrained my hands to rest <br />For that one is a fake devil in vest <br /> <br />Then a murmuring decibel I hardly heard <br />Why should I lay my hand on this bird? <br />When the real one I already tasted, <br />Where no dull moments are wasted; <br />In my heart and soul are longing indeed! <br />For my Prince of the darkest moon weed <br />Until my craving flesh felt his stale bones <br />From now to the eleventh moon of cones <br /> <br />Should I dare to stare or gaze still, <br />As I will sup with him in that helly hill? <br />And let him ring my bell to swell? <br />Whereupon I swing his tail as well; <br />Perhaps I would just be left to answer <br />This inevitable echoing tone like cancer: <br /> <br />'Which one is a lie and a cheat? <br /> <br />That illusionary reality I replaced? <br />Or this real illusion I dearly embraced?
