I could lie and say this has made me stronger
that I don't smell coffee and think of how
you used to savour every last drop
and that I can still play my guitar
without letting my fingers wander
into the chords of your favourite song
I could lie through my teeth
by saying I don't feel like a broken toy
left behind to rust in the pouring rain
I could lie to myself
I do lie to myself
Every single day
