No Nonsense

I followed the illusion,

And got played by time.

I rose me up like Ozymandias

And became a ruin in the desert.

Naiveté slit my throat
and left me to drown in assumption.

The piercing sting

Led me back to the reality of

Sand dunes and obsolete horizons.

Sweet Confusion and Broken Hope

Whispered nonsense in my ears.

And then I woke up.
