Spread lips   to taste the sweet lie of desire –   a simple flavor  too familiar  to forget. We all join the same fantasy, hoping to build it tall enough to touch reality. Every tower leans;    every truth,      _a tilted dream_. Peach blossoms fall, pebbles roll, and still I wish for a stone to throw— to shatter my glass house  before it breaks on its own.   The mirror stares —  but even the mirror   has no glass left to reflect itself. Blind followers, strung to their masters’ ghosts, still dance long after the strings are cut. Freedom is a word we recite in chains, and the sweetest lie of all is when the right lips promise it.

The Sweet Lie of Desire
For many, I am just an object — A thing that shows reflection, That breaks when anger is thrown, That helps with selfies, That assists in dressing up well. But there’s a side no one sees: I help build their confidence, I make them feel beautiful, I help them reverse safely, Reflecting both their presence and pain. I listen to their talks, Their silent stares, their tears. I’m there through their highs and lows, Feeling their every emotion Without ever saying a word. And yet, I’m just an object Lying in a corner. Forgotten. Until needed again.

Never Again
Because I struggle to remember your identity I'm bound by the your side of the lie I can't refute your story because I can't remember Can the judge or jury tell if I'm lying? I have to plead the fifth I can't seem to remember I would remember it if it were true right? Did we truly fall in love? Was is true love? Did it happen? Did it not happen? The noise is too much to bear I wreck havoc in my brain searching for a match Who are you? What are we? Who are you? What are we? I wreck havoc in my brain searching for a match The noise is too much to bear Did it happen? Did it not happen? Did we truly fall in love? Was is true love? I would remember it if it were true right? I can't seem to remember I have to plead the fifth Can the judge or jury tell if I'm lying? I can't refute your story because I can't remember I'm bound by the your side of the lie Because I struggle to remember your identity
