we are lovers and liars

separated by something called distance
which is realy just space/time expanded
with a worthless million molecules
(that no one really understands anyway)
and a hopeless million other souls
who may be neighbors
but in their own separate cells
and hells
because even standing an inch away
no one really understands the other
though we pass by
and smile
and cordially say: "hello how are you"
and we always reply "fine"
even though we're all crying inside
and have learned to hate that smile
because it was always a liar
and it was never convincing to anyone anyway
