My Liar
I hope you know
It eats at me
Like a virus
Killing my cells
Like cancer
You’re my infection
An addiction
My Nicotine
Keeping me in
A trance
Of peaceful
Misery
You’re my liar
Spreading your
Contiguous commodity
Like poison
Thoroughly
Through a river
Ragging
Coursing through me
Isn’t it nice
Just to feel
That numbing ting
The remorseless
Path of destruction
You rage through
My soul
A black blanket of despair
You’re my liar
Your terror
Set in every strand
Of my frail hair
Embedded in my DNA
And you like it that way
Controlling me like a puppet
Because I’m blind
And you’re my guide
Like a drug
Painful withdraws
Don’t leave
I need your greed
It’s the plentiful
grass of which
I feed
Tangling
Rearranging
Can’t you see?
You’re my liar…
My sacrificial
God
I need
I need
In you I find
Comfort
Safety
I know deepest
down the truth
You see
It’s the world
I’m against
And you’re
My protection
I’ll take the lies
If it keeps me
Above 6ft
Away from the
feeding flies
And hungry maggots
You’re my liar
And with that I
Thrive
My loneness
Is devoured
You wipe away
The tears that
Shower down
Smudging makeup
Ruining hair
But it’s with you
I find I don’t care
You’re my liar…
