I never want to see your face.

I never want to be put in that place

Where I must see

The lies through your eyes,

As they try to pry

Open my throat

So wide that I choke

On your words roaming

Senseless, undressed of defense,

Less of the truth you have

Convinced me for too much

Time that I am powerless.

You can no longer

Deceive me with your

Hollow speech.

Each moment I’ve spent

Drowning in thought

Over something I sought

To be honesty.

But honestly,

My head screams instead of

Dreams because you have

Sewn your lies into

The seams of my skin.

It keeps me awake

In a state of hate,

But only at myself for not possessing

Enough self-worth to

Leave and relieve my mind

Of your crime

Locking me in

A cage of rage, yet

All that I am left with is

Your face.
