Tell me i'm lying...

By Deathkitten

Tell me i'm lying
When I say that i'm fine
A certain denial
You tend to assume
that's the state i'm in
A cover up
or a show
but little did you know
what was behind this mask
The feeling you felt
within yourself
when our hands entwine
so perfectly
The thoughts that ran
through your mind
A certain confusion
The deadly kind
Is it trickery? No
Denial? Maybe
Denial is fine
when you're denying me
as if there's enough time
to pick through my thick skin
or peek through the mask
since what's beneath
is such a task
to figure out
When the honesty is there
There's no emotional drought
Who's communicating now?
Denial? No
Am I holding back?
I'd tell you the truth
but you're too scared to ask

    very nice poem jess! this is you at your best. the bad ass that we all love. but yeah I like this poem very much because I love your perspective and when you write its very raw and sounds like you know your boundries in certain situations like this for example. your showing your firm thick skin and its always a turn on. awesome!

    Should I change my name to "Leather skin badass"? Hah jk...I tend to dance around boundaries. Normally honest, but not always entirely spillful unless i'm certain things will be okay. Thanks, Todd :)

    Sometimes it's best to leave things hidden because the truth isn't something that everyone can bare. I'm sure that everyone has a mask on and we all have things to hide. Beautifully crafted piece with honesty and emotion. Loved it : )

    Awesome post, sometimes people sure as hell don't want to know what's really underneath the mask...they may think they wanna try to remove it to see, but it never ends well when they do... Incredible writing... -NN

    Thanks! Hmm...maybe not always, but the majority usually wouldn't enjoy what's underneath. In my case, most sickos do haha BUT...you gotta be sick in some way or another.
