I slipped on these shoes
Two sizes too big
And set out for a journey
For you and for me
With your lipstick I smile
Red as I read once
And I twirl in my dress
That’s really yours
Suddenly I trip over this log
Your actions in fog
So you see I’m lying in dirt
The ant and the flea
I tried so hard to be free
But it wasn’t me
As you I search for thee
I want your clothing
I burn my own in this fire
Please, see this story
I’ve failed in these attempts
I’m invisible
I’m iridescent
I’m illuminated
I’m really nothing
But a Liar
My name should be Cain.
