If He Was A Liar I Was A Deceiver

I remember when your head caught flame

It kissed your scalp and caressed your
brain

Well you laughed, baby it's
okay

It's buzzcut season anyway

It was finally over.

I could leave and do as I please I finally had received my freedom, little did I know it was the end of yours. It was finally time to write my story in the old tattered book that my parents had spent years creating. The pages were worn but still blank aside from the occasional tear and coffee stain.

But your pages, they had been reduced to grimy blood stains with cigarette burns and whatever you had managed to have gotten in your stomach that day. Your pages had been terminated long ago. But you, being you, the amazing boy that I had the pleasure of knowing. You took the shattered glass and wrote your story anyway, I just wished it wasn't in your skin.

While I took out the gold fountain pen my father had given me you took out a lighter and lit your words ablaze. You knew who you were to be and you never once tried to change that. I thought you were brave but I knew this was the only world you ever knew and this was simply reality.

I used to get mad because I knew no one would ever know what sacrifices you made. In others eyes,

I was the misunderstood boy with a broken home and fragmented dreams. You were the immaculate golden boy that everyone adored. At least, that's what you liked to call us.

But in reality, behind all those lies that come with adolescents. I was the financially stable Nuclear family boy. And you were the boy who struggled to feed yourself let alone another. We both had made homes for ourselves in our own bravados.

I pretended to be consumed in darkness and you pretended to be nothing but light.

I guess we aren't so different after all.

A.n: Okay this is my second story on here woohoo! I'm not very poetic but I need an excuse to not work on my other book :P. So this is it if something doesn't make sense you can tell me. I'd love criticism because I've never done anything like this before.

Well here goes nothing!
