Little Lies
These nights
Of tossing and turning
Sleeping with one eye
On the door
My mind a hamster’s wheel
Of insecurity
Impurities
Echoing obscurities
There isn’t a safe place
With you around
My world a dark place
Where your secrets come out
Little by little, one by one,
Shadows from your underworld
Biblical nashings
Straight into my core….
So I am forced to watch the door
Wait for you to enter
To take another bite
A little more mangled
In the tremulous night.
Of tossing and turning
Sleeping with one eye
On the door
My mind a hamster’s wheel
Of insecurity
Impurities
Echoing obscurities
There isn’t a safe place
With you around
My world a dark place
Where your secrets come out
Little by little, one by one,
Shadows from your underworld
Biblical nashings
Straight into my core….
So I am forced to watch the door
Wait for you to enter
To take another bite
A little more mangled
In the tremulous night.
