secrets&lies*
the secrets and the lies
that flow from your mouth
like a cascade of leeches
crawling and slithering
all over my body
leaving black lines
of chills along each curve
midnight drones on
lasting for days
darkness eats you alive
suffocating your existence
you sit and stare
to wait for something
you know will never show
lay like a child
in the comfort of your mother
curled in a ball
warm and peaceful
then you grow up
the leaves on the trees
fall and die
time to wake up
the alarm is buzzing
