Forgery

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Compensating, recreating
for all the things I cannot have
for the leaving love I never felt
to light the dark a little bit
I made this world
my very ring to bind them all
and into nothingness to call
      Losing everything to low desires
      so I accuse myself
      then once again succumb
      to a recycled standard beauty
      that is offered anywhere
      and even when not wanted
      steps into the picture
      telling of its price
            Dominating, relocating
            I sense the dream I cannot have
            and live in one more life not felt
            as darkness seizes me again
            I can no more come up
            with a catchy phrase to counter it
            and to conceal 
            the world I'd like to make
            one ring to make the chain complete
            to remind me that I cannot cheat
            and not even save or load
