That's a Lie

The first thing you see when you wake up

Is the ceiling above you.

You can say the face of a loved one

But that’s a lie.

Your first thought?

‘Do I need to get up?’

You can say the idea of a loved one

But that’s a lie.

Your first action?

Is to stretch and yawn.

You can say it’s to contact a loved one

But that’s a lie.

Your first conversation?

Is with yourself in the morning.

You can say it’s to speak to a loved one

But that’s a lie.

Your first lie?

Is to pretend you don’t love a loved one.

You may try and hide it

But that’s a lie.
