the man with a thousand faces
is still lying his lies are leaking around him like pus yet still he scrambles placating his wife with fictional tales everything costs a dollar in his world where all smiles are calculated and a touch means buying him a house he is willing to upend his daughter's life her stable home her school for a few lies he tosses around in his pocket like change my suicide is another link on his chain of lies the joy he feels at nearly killing someone is past the point of forgiveness he is still hiding not realizing the door is open all his secrets will bleed into his reality finally i can breathe knowing that nothing is left unsaid knowing that this ends is what i live for
