Don't

Stop

By john noakesPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I just stood there jaw dropped open staring into the darkness in utter disbelief as she stood there steady lying. Mocking me as a cold wind blows while flashes of light ignite in the night sky. She is always singing that same old song I thought to myself as she sat there strumming away. She don't think that I know she don't give a fuck about me. I can tell that because of the way she won't look into my eyes anymore. There's just something that makes me uneasy about the things she says because if you will lie about the stupid shit that really doesn't matter, what won't you lie about? I sit here with her, but she doesn't even really notice me. Outside I hear a storm moving in. It circles around over the mountains before it begins to shower everything that is not sheltered from it. The sky weeps as I struggle to stay awake. How much more of this will I take before I break? You just lay there lying. No shame at all on your face. And I wonder.
