The
Lie
My
breath forms mist in the air when I exhale
The
mist becomes a dew when it hits her cheek
As we lie
in a tangled embrace
The
dew becomes tears on her face when she exhales
The
tears fall off her chin to feed a pool of sorrow beneath us
As we lie
in a tangled embrace
The
pool overflows to streams with each beat of my heart
The
streams become a river of pain coursing through my blood
As we lie
in a tangled embrace
The
river becomes a rapids with each of her coughing sobs
The
rapids feed an ocean of regret
As we lie
in a tangled embrace
The
ocean makes waves that crash over my head
The
waves become a tsunami of excuses
As we lie
in a tangled embrace
The
tsunami washes everything away, leaving an empty beach behind
We
fill that beach with falsehoods and delusions
As
we lie in a tangled embrace
