half truths

Here I lie floating
Between lies, which are half truths,
Hopes and despairs
Alternate between sleep 
And lucid awakenings.
Hush,
the soothing lies
They lull to sound sleep,
But the gnawing truths
They nudge and whisper furiously........
I so want to believe the lies!
And yet the poisonous knowledge of truth
leave their tiny indelible marks, 
Bursting bubbles of condensed falsehood.
And one day, the eyes, 
They will open wide awake,
Willing and free!
