lies seem to be my oldest friends

if i stare back
through a window
through the din of
the sighs
and the multiple lies
playing each other
cheating
one by one

if i stare back past
the scars
what would i see?
would i see the reason?
if the tears were just words
would emotions run free?
would the reasons for lying
be spoken
or hidden?

if i told
would they believe?

a lie must be told
for the truth to come out
if you can't feel the pain
then you're lost
misplaced
and then there really is no reason to
come back
at all.
