swallow this lie,
candy coated with pretty colors.
sweet to the taste.
the after burn.
a thousand blood stained droplets,
cascade to a deeper void.
locked away with everything else,
hoping to be forgotten.
follow the trail.
further from reality,
but closer to denial.
just a heart beat away.
singing,
through sinful lips.
the sweet melts away,
and the bitter blade is revealed.
the lies lie naked,
lodged deep in the trusting flesh.
for every forced smile,
and smothered cry,
a crimson tear drop.
