SPACEMAN

your white lies make me hurt
but bring the biggest smile to my face
that anyone’s ever seen

boy, you make the future perfect
with your plans,
so we can try,
stop wasting time;

i think i might be lost
in the stories you paint
before my eyes

and sometimes i wonder
what you mean when you say
the lies tickling my ear:

“i love you, i
love you,”

don’t say that,
so loud.
