we smile through our teeth

lies drool off of our tongues

as we act so sweet

and both play dumb

since the day that I was born

your life was giving meaning

that you could've sworn

you could go on without needing

now your eyes look at me

with condescending expression

the burden I've been to you

has left an everlasting impression

on the person I became

and the relationship we created

we are one in the same

both equally jaded

Ever green

pining after your love

that you hold back with greed

you planted the seed

and chose to let it grow

In a field out back

that you refused to sow
