Secrets and lies
Eating away into your being
So many unsaid words become a curse upon your very soul
Your heart is a dying beast
It trembles in agony but mostly heaves its last sighs
It's time to bury it all
Like one of the many carcasses of your past selves
Laid one upon the other
Ghosts of loves and lovers
Stacked in a haunting memoir of dusty books
Poetry is a sham for cowards
Hiding behind flowery words
Your filth and blood and broken promises
Forever held against you
But if you die tonight who would shed a tear
Drink up my love for the night is still young
Fools go jumping off the ledge while you sit and smile your sardonic smile never living your truth
No wonder you avoid mirrors these days
