Clutching at scraps,
Slight involuntary movements,
A timbre to the voice,
The positioning of an eyebrow,
Morsels that may indicate
Whether truth or lies.
Approval or disapproval.
I’ve never lied to you,
And there are no bones
About my opinions,
Yet the eternal search
Continues.
Do you know how fatiguing
It is to have your
Every move scoured?
Your every state
Aside from inert
clutched
then put under the lens?
Why?
Am I that
interesting?
extraordinary?
suspicion-inducing?
Or
Is it more about you?
Am I a mirror
You examine
To reveal
Your truths and untruths?
Approvals and disapprovals?
Break the mirror
And tune inward.
