It slipped
between cracks
light-bound
Unspoken
a weather
not forecast
but felt

The soil rejected it's guest
Yet something ruptured
Through splintered stone
A ghost within petals
its color fading into the void

I learned the shape of absence
by the scratches
in fractured glass
By the dust
In clouded mirrors

Here
stillness takes sides.
silence holds a pulse
With a heart that beats

What softens is not often spared
petals peel inward
altars consume what kneels too long
What speaks too much

I prayed anyway

No name holds this here,
but I know where the garden fell

There—
where liquid gold
Has a ****** tinge
and sufferance grew gracefully
To fully blossom
In the cruelest manner

Where the core fractures
So the ground may hold it's glory

Lovely little liars
Sing your songs to Me
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me who to be

Tell me that I'm perfect
And I'm beautiful and sweet
take away this bitterness
That people see in me


Teach me all your secret spells
That armour up the mind
Let me in your world of strength
And see what I can find

Lovely little liars
Show your polished teeth
Teach me how to smile through
This poisoned mask of grief

Teach me how to bottle up
The feelings I can't say
Teach me how to be so bright
I'll never fade to grey



Lovely little liars
Won't you use your words for good?
I bet it'd take your heart of steel
And soften it to wood

Won't you pass the torch to me
I'll set it all alight
The warmth you'll feel
The light you'll see
Will fill you with delight

.....

Lovely little liars
Won't you sing to me
Let me feel the weight of love
In your melodies

Let me feel your soul grow light
And See your eyes begin to glitter
As the life restores behind your face
Renewed,
You'll be a winner
