The lie is caught in air that cries
for breath. The truth has long ago
deserted you and me. We were unwise;
the lies we told, we did not know
-though you said, did not realise-
would make us break apart and go
our separate ways. How I surprise
myself. I never thought to show
my love, not even when your eyes
cast down and telling tears would flow.
I told you not to care; only despise
me for my truths, and I'll forego
whatever joy is left to me. Lies
brought us to this point and so
we hold our breath to see who dies
the first. It will be me; and though
you smile, your heart denies
your every word. Now we both know
that lies get caught in sighs.
They hang there in the air...and I must go.
