Your Love Was A Lie

 

Your love was a lie

It was green candy

that I kept in my mouth for awhile 

until the flavor dissolved 

 

Now I have dirty fingernails 

because I work so hard to

keep my heart open enough to pump 

 

I get by. 

 

The world is on fire anyway 

or shaking itself to pieces 

or digging up old hatred 

 

Love was never enough to keep

any of us from breaking.
