Listening to your lies

Can almost smell your sweat

Almost can feel your quickened pulse

As you clear your throat

And take a deep breath

Why are you doing this again?

The truth can’t be that bad

I want to stop you

But I decide to remain silent instead

I wish you could be as honest

As everyone believes you to be

I wonder what they’d think

If they knew of your duplicity

Sorting through your story

Sieving out the truth from the mess

Got to admire your creativity

At your worst you’re at your best

The thing is I adore you

And I deserve to know who you are

When will you stop hiding?

Just allow me to heal your scars
