How much love still lingers
That I smile and the singer
Plays photoshop with my fingers
As on your eyes to bring...
I lie to myself, spy on
The laughter, the joy that wins
My heart and mind
Care to be kind, heavenly resigned
At an untouchable distance
Where I define this love; as that love
Before attempts at rekindling
Singled out faults and restraints
Pains that have turned to play
Feigned on occasion not to stay
Yet way too strong, to go along
With my superficial malignity
