Venom
You deserve better
Closed eyes tell no lies.
Only once opened can they tell the truth.
I wish I could tell you what you want to hear.
But I can’t get the words out,
A snake entangled in its own tongue.
Dying for truth, with the venom spreading quickly.
Can you read my eyes?
Feel my tension?
I can’t tell you, or see you fall apart.
Not today.
Or ever.
So I'll hide.
Not look at you, or show you the truth.
The truth you deserve.
I’m sorry.
