You text me, Wishing me happy birthday, Asking me how I’ve been, And all kinds of other cloying **** And when I see you, You smile and talk sweetly, Your words like saccharine, Artificial and with a bitter aftertaste. As if nothing ever happened, Or as if you don’t remember. I smile sweetly back, A sugary glaze that I paint my lips with, But I’m murdering you inside, Your blood and tears like sticky candy canes, Because honey, I remember Everything.

A Well-Crafted Lie of Sweetness
You text me, Wishing me happy birthday, Asking me how I’ve been, And all kinds of other cloying **** And when I see you, You smile and talk sweetly, Your words like saccharine, Artificial and with a bitter aftertaste. As if nothing ever happened, Or as if you don’t remember. I smile sweetly back, A sugary glaze that I paint my lips with, But I’m murdering you inside, Your blood and tears like sticky candy canes, Because honey, I remember Everything.
