Lie to Me.
I stared at myself in the mirror searching for the glimmer in my eyes that said “lie to me” watched my lips for the twitch that suggested deceit was my desired flavor felt the heat from my flush cheeks and wondered how they deserved cold and empty words touched my heart and felt strenuous thuds heard cavernous echoes that rattled my insides until they were numb… Kristen, we got pizza for dinner They’re both pepperoni by the way “Thanks that’s fine!” I can’t eat tonight anyways

Beautifully written, heartbreaking too- I’ve been there, so this resonates with a part of me that felt buried for a bit. Either way, your piece reminds me there is still art, there is still the beauty of expression and resonance - even in times we feel like this. Hope you have a great day :)
