when truth was a lie...

 










warm breaths
from a cold heart
melted another


frozen in time
lost in a haze
dreams collapsed
like smoke
in the air


once was a spark
lies on the ashes
but I'm no Phoenix


puzzled mind
a playground
for the wicked


and still,
your truth
was beautiful
when you lied...

Last lines came to mind, and I knew I wanted to end the poem with that. And I wrote the poem in reverse.
