lie; lie –we all lie,why do we lie?
i love You, he says;
i love You, she says
lie lie lie .
i lie down on the bus,sleeping,
but i am afraid that:
the others will laugh,mock
my ugly sleeping face;
crooked profile: profile
my profile .
upstuck nose &
fat lips, ugly lips.
lips , lips, lips
take my lips away from me , God,
i misuse them:
too much slips out my lips, too much in
lie ; lie
i lie.
tell myself i am:
worthy,
beautiful.
beautiful–beautiful beautiful
im not full of beauty; full of sadness,
i am sad .
Heaven knows i am miserable,
i am miserable .
i want to lie –lie
in my coffin,
in bitterness;
close my eyes & say farewell.
above me,a crow caws.
