Strip the patina
The path of least resistance
Your true preference
Take the world entire
A sweet lie is still a lie
And you, its teller
For one to deserve
One must be found deserving
You were never so
All things now restored
Ledgers balanced and books closed
Equilibrium
Get thee gone, away
With those flattering falsehoods
Cheap words from loose mouth
Took my breath away
But erred to try for my love
You who could not trust
The exhalation
Last breath slowly exiting
Expulsive relief
