cold nights and fairy lights
and promises of good behaviour
and distance longer than
the seat between us
and sniping comments
and sneering friendships
with hands held to stop
tears that aren't there
from falling and ruining
the facade of just life
and missed chances
for a slap in the face.
smiles and sins were all I needed
to avoid the stare that with one blink
could burn a hole in my shallow,
lonely, fickle heart dead to the world.
you're proud and no one could say
that there's anything left of me for
anyone else anymore. you took me
over. completely. lost in you and
your lies that end in "I love you."
