golden brown lies

Heart fluttering like a storm of butterflies in a hurricane
Cheeks aglow with a flush
My body feels warm all over
You're my secret drug
The only one who makes me feel this euphoric rush

This is it, you said-
Don't overthink, just go with what your heart thinks
Because then you won't have time to look at yourself properly
The empty vessel of deconsecrated flesh
If you looked into your dark pools of ink
Would they speak of foreboding sins and all the times
That you failed to think?

Because your heart is a mighty liar
If it beats for him
He feeds you sugar and pretends that
It is real sustenance
But he will never fill up your cup
Because he can't

How long will you lead yourself on to believe these sweet lies?
The sense of pleasure you feel is a curse and you know it
A cycle set on repeat
The bird rises and takes the bait again
Pain wrecks its body and
It falls
Again
