    You were a liar

    when you held my hand

    and kissed it subtly.

    Your lips lied swallowing all the pain inside

    pressed behind the dry walls of your throat.

    You lied every night

    holding me in your arms,

    becoming something you were not at all.

    All you said that you were fine-

    bewitched your own hazel eyes

    to not reflect the pain which

    you hid inside your stiff ribs.

    I didn’t know,

    How you suffered every night?

    And found every single peice of yourself

    only to make a complete new shining you

    coated with sweet syrup and blunt eyes.

     

    Now, I’m close enough to see 

    crystal clear all the gaping wounds

    stretched over your body.

    You tried stitching them- 

    behind every lie

    All I knew before

    You were a liar!

    You were only a liar.

    Planting deep seeds of secrets,

    now I know the real you were

    lonely: the scars which burnt

    inside of you and expanded until you

    were a deserted little secret, isolated

    in your own experiences but;

    You lied about the wreakage,

    In those fake knight armour suit 

    blinding me, as if it was unrequited love.

    So now come a lil closer, reveal —

    ‘Let me heal you honey’

    I’ll get rid of the salts.

    Let your soul sing in the shower…

    as I be the ointment to your lies.
