Revolte

The sutures of my skin loosen
and fall apart
to muscle and bone
–leaving me in an unholy mess of truth.
But it was vanity, and pride
that cut the thread
with diamond scissors
made in part by wishful thinking.
Because, in truth, it was falsehood
masked in honor
that molded lying razors
so they could cut the strings of me.
And for the untruth I am sorry
but for resistance I am not
–I sacrificed to say I smiled.
It's just too bad my heart beats bare.
