Your Lies

The form of your lies always casts a shadow

If I’m useful to you, tell me how

Can’t tell if I let something in or out

           

I checked the systems the storm is hitting

There’s nothing we can do

But ride unaided down through ruined time

where the waters dissolve you

Brushing your hair back, I fall through the mirror

like the past is accurate

But I’m not the figurine the winner dreamed of holding on to

Suddenly mountains oppress me,

impressions have threatened me,

And I’ll never know what it truly means

Why you died when I was seventeen

Suddenly fountains upset me

The water is all I have

Please do not forget me

Please take me instead

Please do not forget me

Please take me instead

Please do not forget me

Please take me, take me instead
