Smoke& Mirrors.

xxx

Wide awake and it is much too late;

how much more can I fucking take?

In too deep& I could really use the sleep…

but what I dream of is a mistake.

Rhinestone eyes glimmering in lies;

I try to explain that I won’t be your prize,

but before you listen, I bite my tongue-

&the word, still in my throat- dies…

Sometimes I wish I’d told you twice;

once could’ve been enough,

to change your whole life.
