What ever makes you sleep

at night

Soul ties.

Lies.

Promises from a forever mine.

Lies.

A love which surpasses a spiritual high.

Lies.

A chance connection.

Lies.

A connection that proves it's worth in self hate crimes.

Lies.

A connection that makes a jilted heart kind.

LIES.

A connection that stands the test of time.

LIES.

Those long goodbyes and those wordless sighs.

LIES. LIES. LIES.

I’ve lived through it all and I am only left with

stitch marks that mark holes punctured by each bunny looped tie.

I tell myself "Never let truth and your heart misalign"

and yet, each time;

to myself,

I. Lie.
