Just know that your eyes scream when you lie.

Your lower lip quivers when you attempt to deceive me.

My blood, in response, boils when you tell false testimony.

An in an instant, your beauty withers into nothingness and dust.

I don't mean what any stranger could see, but I mean what I've seen you become.

From a friend to a stranger.

To your personality growing paler.

To your mind turning saltier.

And you know I'm allergic to salt, the sea and all the contents beneath.

I'm not one who teaches, but one who never beseeches

and the first passenger to a bus when leaving.
