Funhouse

i live in a funhouse mirror-
your reality i only see a
sliver of, cornered by a 
lacking void. i ache &
break & fake my face to
smile, i want to wash 
the body i dirtied. i see 
you coming, too quick i
scurried past, drastic 
attempt to make the 
moment last- but my
vision is covered in smoke
a mired joke, tired &
tangled in time.
