Hope
Place the words you want to hear
inside my mouth
so I can spit them back out
and you can leave me
alone
because false hope
and missed calls on the phone
aren't enough to trip me
anymore.
I buried the guilt
beside old memories
with the shovel you used
to dig them up
any time I was angry.
I stared your lies right in the face
pretending not to notice
all the changes that I made
so I could swallow them.
I guess the truth is that
I say you never knew me
because I'm too scared to admit
that it was you
I never really knew.
