Lime Lies

By bedazzled •
Red granite crumbles
I fear you
are loosening the vice.
I need your tools
to stay in repair
but you are tired
of working.
So I wander along
tracks of ink
and ponder by deep wells.
Could you be
drawing blueprints
for the day you say
goodbye?
I break,
slowly,
at the very thought,
picking withered daisies,
losing hope.
There isn't much to love
in me,
there isn't much
to stay for.
Seams of pain
down warped-steel spine.
I cannot bear
the words.
Your eyes are honest,
your lies are lime.
Say it isn't so,
my love.
