fabler

listen in
i will tell you a lie

it will evoke an emotion
that hinders attention

you’ll have lost
only time and patience

but filled your curiosity
to cruel levels

the truth of it
is unbelievable at first

not that you’ll see
blinded by greed

know that i strike
with endless tenacity

only to illicit
your unknown response

you and i
are one and the same

free of thought
but not of pain

your blood runs blue
under a red sun

you cut off ties
that suffocate

i gasp for air
under pressure

my eyes misled you
to rapture your soul

there is no truth
in disowning the past

you choose to believe
that the future heals

you are molded
by your own lies

why have you decided
to interest yourself in mine
