a lie

1
There was a girl, no older than thirteen
who once asked me if falling in love was easy.
I told her it was like holding a key
to a door that never wanted to unlocked in the first place.

2
His smile was like a yawn.
Contagious, but so boring.
I don't understand how the cons
outweighed the pros, nor do I care anymore.

3
Clammy palms and
a heart thumping out of my chest,
a stage I was never meant to be on
finally opened it's curtains
on the saddest tragedy ever written.
It's Title: My Name.

4
Mountains of books
and scrolls and letters
from prophets, wise men, and kings
could've never taught me how to
even begin to comprehend
how the starlight could make your
eyes shine brighter than the sun.

5
A summer morning,
dew fresh and air heavy,
I saw your eyes peak open
and suddenly I fell even harder
than I ever thought possible.
