The lingering subtle changes of your face

Obfuscating my washed out love into the

Bewildered cataclysmic,

Same old newly formed 15 year beach,

Everything you told me before

Surreptitiously used as a reminder that it was a distraction… and it

Slips into evanescence, a volume of volcanic activity lost in a plume of your acidic, wordy, dragon smoke

In a quick, reply

Veritable lies you covered up as new truths

Envelop the lingering subtle changes of your face.
