lies in your eyes
The lies began
in your eyes.
You looked away
so your eyes wouldn’t betray,
but the lies slid down
to choke your throat.
Some you swallowed.
Some you spit out.
When the lies became too much to swallow,
you threw up the truth.
Then the shame shine
in your eyes.
The fear of what you are
mixed with the bile of what you knew
you would never be.
Your lies were no longer a surprise.
Your ignorance was never bliss.
Your thoughtlessness always stung,
but your betrayal was the biggest bite.
I’m the one who put up the fight.
You never knew what was right.
