Putin, Lavrov, Biden, Psaki

Zelensky's a fresher face, for now
  We'll get sick of him soon too, and how...

Another year comes to a close
We've gone in circles, trying to follow our nose 
So many lies and confusion, overexposed 

Everyone's on the back foot, or throwing stones
But what's left in the end. I miss being stoned

the stories that I tell my head
to hold my love intact
I roam inside these fantasies
a starless sky shines back

as it all slips from my fingers
guardian angels silently sleep
and  pieces of love erode away
leaving my heart to weep
 
words can't frame this room I'm in
all the photos overexposed
images blur and fade in my mind 
leaving nothing left of you...

Words have shaped me like a sculpture,
Like liquid poured into a mold,
Words have feasted on my soul crueler than a vulture,
Tearing me apart, splitting me open, leaving me exposed,
Words more painful than a pus-filled ulcer,
Left me trembling, huddled in a corner with my eyes closed.
Words have killed me, I was overexposed,
My mind slowly rotting, decomposed....

OVEREXPOSED

shadows
in this
room
that are not
mine 
to
hide from

still they
follow
close 
behind
dark and
dumb

the sum
total of
a scant
light
I fail to
fight

you see..
they wont
tell you why
even at the
end of the
lie
how deep 
things go
or what they
mean
under a
smoke 
screen

overexposed

love doesn't live here anymore
if it ever even did before
my heart pounding against this door
but love doesn't live here anymore

packed its bags and moved away
no forwarding address, nothing to say
its been gone for a month of days
a black and white still from
an overexposed frame

my heart is breaking from this deceit
all is different than it believed
need to figure away to excrete
as it makes its sad retreat...
