when you lie

Maria Clara Machado

we have endless conversations while they have fun

but aren’t we having fun too?

I look myself in the mirror but you say I don’t see nothing

nothing but the truth which is so hard to find

I thought I found a resting chest but instead I found lies

or maybe I was the one believing in my own prision

wondering why wouldn’t I feel this with the people I wanted to

I’m a coward but you are one as well

it was my fault to be naive or was it your fault to pretend you were emotional?

your fingers and your heart don’t get along with each other, well I can see that

(sometimes mixed feelings can fuck you up I won’t deny your selfishness)

although you keep testing me when I keep leaning backwards

your words still soften my days like the rain erases the old memories

that you made me forget it in a peaceful way while you accidentally said you loved me too soon

(say that you won’t give up on our fate like you’ve been doing lately)

will you miss me like I’ll miss you when I start paying the price for my careless actions? (please don’t let me pay them)

I know you have too many people around you (none of them will make your heart feel something)

and the universe plays us tricks all the time (maybe it’s avoiding our tears)

but I won’t give up until you tell me I’m not like them (distort my mind)
