the words that roll over your lips
sound wonderful
almost real
i almost believed you
when you said
i don't need anyone
yet you fell apart
when he left you alone
in the dark
with your own untold secrets
though you are operating
at low speed
not quick enough
flinching at all sounds
that sound louder than
your lies
and when i look at you
in the morning
your eyes look tired and dark
as if they had been buried over night
and you somehow
brought them back
from the death
only for them to see the world
in dark colours
that's all i see
when i look in the mirror
a person
with lies
and eyes sinking
to the bottom of the ocean
