Lies

Where do lies go?

Lies climb up to the corner of your teeth

Mixing words together until someone

Points them out and embarrass you 

Lies crawl up to your sleeves 

And sit on your eyelashes 

Waiting for your tears to wash it clean

Or baptize it, maybe?

Lies dance on unheard tunes on summer nights 

And kiss new people while it snows outside 

Lies hang in your living room

With a rope around its neck

And at night you hear

Your ceiling fan falling down 

And lies, coughing 

on the floor 

You fix the fan back to the place 

Lies try to kill themselves again 

But ends up killing people and 

Sometimes

You

Lies live forever 

Like Love 

Like Soul 

Like God
