(lie)dumpster



i can see everything that you can't see...

even the fabrications so exquisitely composed in your head,

that you will feed me with your signature
down-to-earth eloquence.


but i believe they are incapable of leading me astray,

nothing (really) is but my own self-fashioned hope,
(...in which you took a lead role in engineering).


you (should) know that i will (only) accept all or nothing.

i'm (not) afraid of happy endings,
i'm just afraid my life won't work that way.
and i am afraid of forgiveness,
and you will (not) be absolved.


please don't string me along (on your Columbus-esque journey),

because my most treasured beliefs will (yes, they will) walk out the door with you.


do it (if you do) and i will be the cause of your demise.
