I liked life better
when lies were easier
to separate from truth.
"My brother has a pet dragon,"
is easier to disregard
than
"Give me your heart -
I promise I won't break it."

I abhor the very
thought
that untrue words
can come from
someones heart
and into my life,
piercing me.

Leave your poisoned words
at the gates of
Hell
- where they belong.

Toxic intents
do not belong
in the
same
sentence
as my name.
