Solipsism Ghosts

So many nights I have spent mourning

often I've awaken in pain every morning

past time whispers caress my dreams of lust

denying the factious reality that my heart is lost.

I do not speak of love nowadays

all which is true is what it is and its mysterious ways

a self-centered yet forgiving world remains

unatached and deformed, punishing and captive within chains.

killing time, my mistress, quite ashamed I must say

leaving clocks and thoughts which belong to a different day

I step forward, facing poetic lies, my true face

all which it is and will ever be, an everlasting maze.

truth is hurtful, and I wish lies weren't so sweet

but I prefer sweet lies over truth's bitter beat.

I'm obscene, and so is this place which I'm sorrounded with

putrid, wasted, poisonous thorns and weed.

I gave up a long time ago, to try to understand everything

why should I? If we were meant to distort anything?

Nothing is ever the same, that I do understand

as long as I know this, the world shall reston my hand

crumpling moments age my tired body though

and soon I won't have any place to go.

Solipsism is a theory stating that the self is the only thing one can truly know to exist. Any other truth beyond that is not attainable.
Essentially, everyone is truly and utterly alone in a world that may or may not really exist.
