artificial butter

coats my finger tips

powered sugar

encrusts the sides of my lips

they whisper me secrets

that i can't even fathom


meanwhile

there is a constant battle 

in the back of my mind

so i distract myself from fighting

with the false reality 

that i watch through a lens 


as everything falls down around me

nobody suspects a thing 

or wonders about it

 i'm already gone.
