hold me tight

i would like to say that
i don't lie but that is
not the case
all this deceit
puffed-up pride

you see me not-caring
awkwardly "innocent"
i am not one bit flustered 
by anything
at all

unfurling clenched fists
bitten tongue
emerald, petulant eyes
venom and poison and
despair

two a.m. is the hour of
sacred mumblings
nostalgia, detest and 
my imagination?
fantasies within delusions

perhaps one will catch onto
these lies — permission granted to
break me crush me strip me
hold me.

tightly.
