Friends

I am not revelatory

Please stop

Acting like your beautiful babies aren't yours

I lie

I deceive

I conceal

I am desirous of you all

And I'll never let you know

Tell me of your reflection

Tell me of your world

Is it full of denied investments?

Full of a resented reality?

Think of it how you will

It isn't what you say

It is frightening

It is cruel

It is realer than you claim

I can never be your mirror

I can never acknowledge you

Only coldness can do that

Only distance can satisfy you
