Embellished

Justify your lies to me,
Pretend I just misunderstand.
Taint each embellished memory.

Belittle me in mockery,
Deny this wasn’t what you planned.
Justify your lies to me.

Remind me why this cannot be,
Demean what happened on the strand.
Taint each embellished memory.

Act though I live in fantasy:
I see your gaze fall to my hand.
Justify your lies to me.

Feign there was nothing there to see,
That words were winds and actions sand.
Taint each embellished memory.

I am but a storm out at sea....
