break my bones with stones
for each lie I believed
leave them there; alone
a songbird's voice; grieved
sink my voice in the ocean
bury it beneath the sand
let the tide be broken
and try to understand
light my sanity on fire
watch the flames break
such a proper liar lover
a tattoo of a snake
I'd talk about you to the moon
and listen to stories about the sun
I love you
like the moon loves the sun
