Lies in Broken Glass

CATEGORY

just different

There’s an old saying, that if God made anything prettier than you then he kept it for his damn self, that’s a lie, cause if God made anything prettier than you I would laugh because God never makes any mistakes, see I learned that lies, while made out to be negative, are actually positive, see I watched you lie, as you cried giving birth to our son, your hand clutched mines and said get this lil boy out of me, but when we lied down together, you said keep that big boy in you, so think about it, our lying brought out the greatest truth, I lied the first time I saw you, I said how are you, what I meant to say is I can’t wait to see this fine mutha***a naked, but that wouldn’t have been appropriate for the situation, and then I actually lied, said I’ll be back, I’m running to the store, what I actually did was run to my old chicks, told em lose contact with me forever, I ran to my old homies, told em they need to get their life together, then I ran to the mirror, looked at it once, broke that for seven years of bad luck, I picked up the glass, pieced it back together to make sure the man you had coming was put back together, because one thing we are scared to admit, humans are nothing more than broken pieces of glass that are held together with skeleton bones and skin, and when cuts occur, some go more than skin deep, it severs arteries and veins, but ironically, I got addicted to the pain, so I started to slit my wrists, I wanted it too match the fits that love caused me to throw over the times I loved the wrong people, over times I ***ed up love and most importantly, I wanted to bleed out the mistake I gave my last name too, we are nothing more than broken shards of glass on the outside, covered up by smiles that sometimes say help me, and your love helped me become whole again, so allow me to lie to my friends, tell em I’m doing homework, when the only thing I wanna study is you, tell my boss that I’m sick, so I can stay home and cater to you, let me tell death that I’m near, because the closest I wanna get to death is when I’m lying next to you, dead tired, from eruptions of passion, see lying ain’t always bad, it actually saves us from trouble, I don’t know how many times I told a kid that it would be okay when I knew the situation was dire, so set fire to truth, and get high of lies ashes, because lying set the stage for some of the best , Peter lied saying he didn’t no JC and that taught forgiveness, but I’m still ***ed up from Rocky lying on the couch in boyz in the hood, bleeding out his last breaths, but that’s how I want my death, me in your arms, bleeding out every ounce of you inside of me to soak you soul with all that’s in me, cause the only time I want you to see this shell of a man, is after I have given you all of my love
