Lies

Don’t look at me, please.
What you see isn't me.
Don’t try me with those eyes
You can't see past these lies.

I’m lost and burdened
a drifting soul
that no one can take care of
you touched me then
but now you’re gone
and I’m nothing without that touch

but can’t you see
that what I need
isn’t approbation?
I want acceptance
deep and true
but not a presentation

and I’ve lost truth
inside of me
and none showed me the way
‘cause when I lie
to you and smile


You lie back
