i have signed up –
to hypocrisy
their new found love
hurts –
like a personal conspiracy

he plays his cards
i watch and listen
having played –
the game myself

my windows –
have illegal errors
and my shared drive –
just wants to be on its own

in the very least –
you woke me up
and woke me up to myself
reminded me,
that there was no need to be somebody else

you attack me,
as you attack the world
glib phrases
and paraphrased sayings –
tumble from your mouth

your, ‘perfect life’
with its neatly defined roles
no expectations
and those constant goals

how come –
you never actually say –
you love him
where is your heartfelt feelings

i could not sleep
on sunday night
i had a dream of you
and the dream held me tight

as the life i one knew
falls away
another one grows
and in the breeze,
it starts to sway
