Fault Lines

The blues in my eyes

turn to black.

My chapped lipped lies

hit me right back.

I can't shake the picture

you painted by mistake

and no amount of liquor

can numb away the ache.

A fault line in my chest

that was always almost breaking

and a love never confessed

so my voice was always faking

made a mess of my insides

and a hell of my weak heart.

So I'll slip under your tides

while we breathe so far apart.
