Lies

The words flew from my tongue in an instant, without a second thought. A string of words meant to protect, both my mind and my life. It drapes itself arround me, encompassing me like a second skin. Its become too difficult to unwind the thread from my skin, the stitches reaching my innermost thoughts, the dark spots I can't see anymore Its all consumming, crushing me under its weight and the needle piercing my skin everytime I speak those words, like a promise to myself I can never fulfill.
