your soul
was black
but your heart
was blue
and so
you see
i fell for you

you think
you are exempt
from being blamed
for the pain your words caused
because you think
the words that came out of your mouth
are drifting,
dissolving,
in the air
forever lost
to the elements

they're not

my words
are my voice
so when you scrunch them up
in your unforgiving fists
you may as well
be slapping me
right across the face

you send your impostor jellyfish
out into the great abyss
a storm cloud in a sky of shifting blue
seemingly innocent from where you stand
but really
you have repaid a gift with a curse
and your curse is mistaken for a gift
because what else would one repay a gift with
than another in return?

when you breathed
i breathed
because the most intimate
i could be with you
was when our breaths caressed
each other.

you are fed
so many lies
that eventually
it's not your fault
when they come
flowing out of you

draw me a house
of lies
lies
lies
and then tell me it's me
who is blind
blind
blind
