APOLOGIES

i beg of you to trust the liar

My sincerest sorries
to those I made lose
while I selfishly loved.
Who I trapped behind a one-way mirror,
while I, alone,
screamed for them from the other side.

Whose open arms I teased,
and whose cheeks singed for me,
the very one smirking as their tears grew hotter.

My lies were spun of silk:
entreating your entrance then binding your limbs.
Suspended, motionless,
as my crimson hourglass came out of hiding.

No longer do I climb through air,
leaving an adhesive path.
I walk for me, with you.
The mirror turned to glass.
