never here
Where are you when I need you most?
We keep coming back to this place of nowhere
this place of alibi artistry
where these excuses are not our friends
but another nail in the coffin of us
Tell me where you go when I'm not looking
tell me what you're thinking when your mouth
speaks the words I want to hear while your eyes
spark with the lies I can't quite overcome
Love brands me an idiot
and I don't know why I keep putting faith
in your white-lie stories like they're universal truths
You're never here
you're almost always there
shining under the bright lights of dishonesty
like they can hide the shadows you keep

There is no hiding place. The lights are too bright, as you rightly say, Miss Indie.

Well Indie, you always encourage honest critique from your readers but you barely leave us a room for it. It's like selling ice to an eskimo (yes, a nearly impossible task)
Thank you for feeding my apatite with persisting consistency.

I read this 2 days ago and had to make a note to comment today......your words are incredible.
There is something so deep here and it moved me.

Thank you Lena, I'm glad you came back and shared that with me. :) It's much appreciated. I'm glad you found so much in my words.
