Subject: i post here just cos i do. in case anyone feels like reading into my guilt.

justification
trembles on a bitter limb as i
whisper over and over.
and over.
it's not me being selfish.
and to believe these untruths feels like
i�m playing pretend in my head for the thousandth time
and you�re standing there to kick down my house of cards.
i never felt tears roll down
inside my cheek before and i apologize
if my hand swings shut to your eyes.
reflexes like that are my biggest
guilt and you make sure i don�t forget it.
and with a weepy smile it ends with the sun.
but it�s still afloat in our secretions.
mixing below our noses as we lock eyes
and believe the fake so
our fingers can still interlock.
someday those quick glances to my feet
might not be so quick anymore and my cover will falter and that quiver
you hear will be me not speaking.
it hard to see black and white when my grey
comes out in hues of green and red.
so i put out my feeble attempt and blush at the simplicity of it all.
cos that�s what left of me to you.
a simple mind.
