the noose
Who knew
your smile
would be your biggest lie.
Who knew
the wink of your eye
would be the devil’s signal
to run away.
You knew
your touch
came with deceit.
I should have known
you’d rather fuck a lie
than feel the truth.
Who knew
you pretend to be yourself.
Who knew
your circle of friends and family
was a noose.
You knew
how sick your circle was.
I should have known
the noose was being tightened…
by you.
I escaped that noose,
didn’t I?
You’re still caught in it,
aren’t you?
You prefer the noose,
don’t you?
The noose will catch you when you fall
and comfort you
within it’s
suffocating
ignorant
bliss.
My neck is scarred.
My hands are burned.
My soul is stretched.
I should have known
even love and truth
couldn’t undo your noose.
I should have known…
