Lies Discovered Too Late
February 19, 2015
On sad nights like these
Raspy voices
Choking back false pretenses
Emotions become heightened at night
Illuminated by a single light
A mysterious creature emerges
From this lake
Our lake
Near a bench
Underneath street lamps
Soft chuckles
Molten blue-oranges
As a sun creeps down behind a ruined factory
A smile shifts into a different position
Legs
Deep sighs
Come here where the grass is wet
Love me on a hill
Love the stars that do not burn for you
Foolish promises
Stupid minds
“I will love you forever”
