I Am The Liar Poem by Maya Hanson

I bleed in borrowed snakeskin
and staring down at it I can't wrap you in the blame
no, I am the liar
and I can't help but wash away in dreaming
when you leave like this.

I am hollow heavy eyes
following your current and
I wrap you in the shadows to separate you from the sparks
but they still find their way to your window,
piling over each other until all I can see is blinding
so I throw myself on the ground outside
hoping this city can love a liar
and the streetlights all go out at the sight of me.
