Lies

you say
those things
without a second thought
as if
they don't hurt
you
and those
to whom
you speak.
i act
like i don't care.
what does a lush or hollister or prep's words mean to me anyway?
but you can't see
what inside.
inside;
i'm breaking
falling
splitting
shattering
into a million little pieces.
like a mirror.
a mirror of my lies.
the lies i told
so
i could
seem sane.
but that mirror?
it's shattered.
the pieces cut me.
but the wounds
are healing.
i no longer act as if they don't hurt.
our souls are everlasting, yet fragile.
next time you say something, think twice.
your words may hurt in ways you'll never know.
