Inauthenticity
The duplicity of mask
And ego
Lurking in sanguine lie
It is not the thing itself
Of course
But the fact that you used it so quickly
Easily
That gave me pause
Perhaps we are not as close
As once was
Perhaps
That is my fault
Perhaps
…
Then again
It has nothing to do with me
And I should not
Take it to heart
It comes from you
Leave it where it starts
Seven seconds
Before you even opened your mouth
I heard it in your eyes first
They have ever been
Surface echos
Of what you hold deeper
Closer
Nearer
Those deep chasms
Where you don’t even know what was
Or could be
Maybe one day you’ll stop dwelling so shallow
And be brave enough
To hike a littler further in
Take a compass friend
Find true north
Before you come back this way again
