A Lie

There is a new truth burrowing itself into my cells

The truth of soft lips, and cool fingers, and warm arms

The truth of a gnarled finger trailed along her pale jawline

The truth of kissing her neck and becoming lost to the world

The truth of tracing words on a wrist gently with my pinky

The truth of piercing eyes that see me for all that I am

The truth of the timbre of her voice exploding in my brain

There is only one lie left to dispose of and eliminate

The lie of my life ever being the same, unchanged, pedestrian

The truth is an irrevocable change for the better has occurred
