Lies

I rang the bell, but it made no sound... I fell on my face, but not to the ground... I cried out to god, but she was gone... I sang all the words but not the song... I wept without a single tear.. I was afraid without a single fear... I screamed out in a muted pain... I soaked in the storm but not in the rain... I wish I was me but someone else... I wish I could reach that gun on the shelf... I am sick as a dog but in perfect health... I'm a raging moron; thoughtful and wise... And if you believe that, I have plenty more lies...

An outpouring of emotions that surges up from the heart and splashes against the page like a cleansing rain, as the author pours out his soul. Emile. #7
