The Edge of Every Lie

Forced words of remorse sear my throat

As embers of empty apologies

Turn to ashes at your ears

Incinerating my will to compromise

Your visage mirrored

Across a thousand shards of broken glass

Reflections of the victim

You’ve made yourself to be

Twisting every word into a blade

The edge of every lie you speak

Carves and lacerates the truth from me

A liars tongue

In the mouth of a coward

Blood will stain the path you take

And remain

As the grave of every choice you made
