Lies and Truth

Let me curl up

In a ball

Wound in these dreams

Coated in nightmares

You tell me the truth

Is worth all the lies

So close my eyes

I open my mouth

To swallow all your stories

Let your hands explore

Pull me apart

Then braid me back together

Rebuild me

Into the lies

So we could see the truth

And I find I look like you now

Bitter and cruel

My smile twisted into a frown

No longer can see

With everything you made me

It turns out

Your truth was no better than the lies

So it is midnight

In the glow of the moon

I will unravel from your definitions

Let them puddle at my feet

And I will step away

For I am

My own truth
