placebo
I swallowed your version of lies
and held on tight to mine,
I didn’t think this was the right time
to over guild the lily,
I’m not sure why you’re paddling upstream
in my broken heart at least,
I’ll let you down this chunk of placebo
off guard, you believe me a fool,
a table laid for a feast of eyes and noses
sensual allure and blatant trickery,
this is a step too far even for my weird
this placebo works, this revenge shall be,
as I glance across your kitchen table
at your damp eyes as your shaky voice noises weeps,
I realise now this revenge here is a pudding
but its taste will be somewhat too sweet,
I don’t wish that much anymore
you’re contrite and I don’t care,
we deserve some redemption for this crash
we were once a strongly designed pair,
pain will subside for me in a while
and I don’t wish you to own it anymore,
you keep your belief of the upper hand
or have I swallowed your placebo,
