Lies

You told me to do it

I knew why and I came

I didn't know you well and here he is

You know him and you ask him

I'm dismissed and humiliated

Don't cast me the villain

 

Everyone's quiet 

Looking at the memorial through lenses and screens

Their trash in the pictures

 

We always want to be the generation that destroyed it all

Progress and evolution of man wiped cars

 

You lock the doors

I'm exposed naked in a subway turnstile

Vomiting and freezing; spinning and bleeding

 

You can laugh and smile

You can be as direct as possible

The people you hate are a reflection of your own flaws

 

Years and nothing said

A fire left unattended burns oil

It burns out or destroys the house

 

What was lost in disconnect

 

Ten minutes ago you could see the entire horizon

Purple velvet left the dusk

The first few stars

 

I'm prepared

You question

I answer

You smile

I smile but stay silent

I laugh through my teeth

You were great

 

Amazing, phenomenal, insane

Everything amazing

You were, it was

Thank you

 

Thin air snaps visible breathing

Coats and arms and hair

Heads shoulders knees and toes

Scribble

 

She's screaming

They smile

Shows over

 

We judge others on their actions

And ourselves by our intentions
