How many steps back?

I move at a turtle’s pace, but would rather be a hare. Bear with me while I say one thing and mean another, and talk tougher than I am. Hearts are useless, fragile things. I’d like to not have one.

One step forward, two steps back, right? Someday when I say “I’m over it.” …I’ll be telling the truth.

lies fall from
my fingertips
denial at it’s best
i lie to you
i lie to me
i lie to all the rest

stupid, hopeless
but tied and bound
a wish can’t make it true
silly dreams
aren’t reality
but i’m a dreaming fool

-me
