THE COMET THAT PRETENDED  TO BE A  STAR

Generational lies

They told me that

I was born with her,

lie after lie

they claimed it was mine,

but while I was growing up

the world confirmed that they were lying,

freedom has a price,

more expensive than I thought,

so high that some

to death she would take them,

for being different

or by sleeping with the truth,

Confidence

you took advantage of my honesty,

played with the most precious thing I gave you,

you mistreated it and turned it into

a beast for your entertainment,

you shattered it and didn't have

the slightest hint of remorse,

and you didn't realize that without it,

the us would cease to exist.

the more we were together,

and I, like a fool, believed it.

––––––––

Your skin, white as snow,

told me so,

your eyes, shining like stars

in the darkest night,

told me so,

and I, like a fool, believed it.

a route across your skin,

your ruthless curves, like mountains,

told me so,

and I,
