Each falsehood folds into itself
Your explanations weaken
But I hated the truth enough
To swallow outrageous lies
Choking on my weaknesses
Seeing beautiful bullsh*t
Rather then the roughly sketched
Portraits in charcoal jagged lines
The comfortingly real ugliness of truth
Cannot warm my bed or wrap my thoughts
In lies to keep me from the enemy Alone

Unfulfilled but shining remembered
In each act of the monologue of you
You cleverly fake being all I want
& I pretend to believe you
Fiction slowly eclipsing nonfiction
Filling our pages with sweet nothings
Until we forget all we are, all we were
The story of us a fanastic house of cards
Fluttering in the winds of the real world
