These Poems are All Lies

Listen

Hush.

Listen.

You don’t have to be afraid

Anymore.

The Sun is Still Shining

If you

Follow me,

I can show you

The sun.

The Lie Behind Your Eyes

I could tell by your eyes

That you were lying

When you said that you

Were going to be

OK.

A False Embrace

When you came home

My wife hugged you,

Pulled you into a tight embrace.

You said you were fine,

But I knew

It was

A lie.
