so much words
cannot describe

so many words
we hide behind

we bide our time
and pine for those
old days gone by

now we’ve memorized
all our lines:

“thanks for asking
things are fine”

“it will get better
in a while”

“was only something
in my eye”

“every story has
two sides”

“what reason would
I have to lie”
