Repudiation

the deceit burns
like acid on your flesh in the moonlight.
i get lost easily
fighting to find my way by flashlight
through thicket
and twine wrapped among the mosses
as if it were left there
to entangle and bring together the losses.
place your hand on my body
warm and melting beneath the anger within
pain coming through as dry ice in wine
i'll forget the lies
one day i will forget there ever was a time.
