All The Usual Lies
Do not open your mouth,
If you are going to say the usual things.
Do not smile and nod,
As if everything will get better soon.
Do not hold my hand and pat my back,
With “concern”, “sympathy”, and “Love”.
I already tell myself the usual lies,
I don’t need you to verify them.
Just hold me in your heart,
Love me,
Wait.
