Lie With Me

This was never what you wanted.
You had fun pretending.
These sullen gazes and hollow touch.
That was all I had.

I'm trying not to drift away.
But there is not enough
to keep me here.
You still speak of confusion,
but your mind's made up,
against me.

I'm running from the truth
that I'm nothing.
So grasp at straws,
they're all I have.

Kill me, if you can.
A hand raised in hate
would be enough.
At least you might mean it.

Quickly, before I drift away from you.
You owe me this much.
I fall, I fall, I fall.
That's tragedy.

I can't hear you anymore.
Perhaps that's for the best.
But reach out.
I'm begging for that spark.

The things that we do just to keep ourselves whole.
