Shoe Size

When he tried on her shoes
He walked through her pain
He wiped away her tears
And the blood she drained.

He tightened the laces
And ran along her path
He thought she was evil
Until he fell in cracks.

He thought the opposite of love is hate
But didn’t feel it when he tried on her shoes
He took her shoes off and put his shoes on
His ego turned his hate to love.

To feel love is to feel everything
To feel the opposite is to feel nothing.

Tear The Dress

There she drowns in her blinding dress
As she walks, it drags like minions
Imitating her every move
The truth dug with her stiletto shoes.

There she drowns in a dress of lies
As she walks, they drag and hinder
Hinder her every move
When she’ll step on her dress and trip
She’ll tear everything apart
Even truth’s sealed lip.

There I drown in a dress sewn with tears
As I walk, I leave a trail
Those invisible tears could slip me
But I mop them as I go
Only longing for her to slip and see.

There I stand
Drowned in tears
Drenched in another’s sins
Soaked in another’s fears
The only breath I take is the wind blown at my skin.

She digs at me with her stiletto shoes
Like a dagger piercing through me
The only one blocking my blood to ooze is myself
Where is she?

Innocent Mirror

Look into your mirror
And tell me what you see
Is it really you?
Or someone you cannot be.

Don’t look at someone else’s mirror
And tell them who they should be
Looking in their mirror
Will not change what your mirror sees.

When you look into your mirror
Are you sure you see yourself?
As you gaze into your eyes
Are you sure your eyes aren’t reflecting someone else?

It’s not the mirror’s fault,
That it reflects someone else
How do you expect a mirror to reflect you
If you don’t know who you are yourself.

His Eyes See Only Thorns

He never knew how to grow his trees
He kept cutting them down, he tore their leaves
His heart not knew if it watered his seeds
His air not knew when it should breeze.

All day he ploughed his land
Not knowing his seed lost in the sand
The water he did seek was left evaporate
He let no help across his gate.

His gate his heart locked
All his streams and light left blocked
His flowers and leaves, thorns and twigs mocked
But they could never be reality that shocked.

Even though every man saw his flowers and leaves
He was left with thorns and twigs to weave.

Electroplate

She electroplated silver
She electroplated gold
Metals covering lies
Truths striving to unfold.

The plates although chip off
And sometimes they fade
Truth will parade her naked
And naked she will stroll.

A lie can never be
Without a truth behind it
Lies plate her into blinding shine
Lies wall her into mesmerizing diamond.

She electroplates
Thinking plates never fade
She bricks walls
Thinking they're built with diamond.

Even though diamonds don't electroplate
They brick roofs and walls
Imprisoning truth
But truth cuts through diamond.
