I'm Not Lying. [Original Work]

in writing •  7 years ago 


...

I’m honest when I say that I hate to lie
Still I can’t help carving cracks
in mirrors from which
the glance reaches further
Than I can hide

I’m honest when I say that I try
Still I can’t help burn the bridges
To places where I
Could find a safer tide

I’m honest when I say that I love you
Still I can’t help pushing
You far away
Telling myself feelings fade.
