Your words are blue
spouting out of your mouth.
Lips parched & bleeding.
Your lies are heavy,
a box filled with nails
with which you lacerate your skin.
As you smile in vain,
poison dripping from your mouth.
Your eyes see crimson
when you look in the mirror
& your stone face stares back
in seeping silence.
You don't see right or wrong.
You see in colors of denial
& the toxicity is eating
my life away.
