D.N.S. Poem: "Mirror"

Your words.
Your eyes.
Filled with beautiful lies.

Your life?
Lived, under the guise
You so deeply despise.

Your depth?
Synthetic.
My obsession: pathetic.

Your dreams?
Your mind?
Consumed by your pride.

My words?
Forever scattered
By this heartbeat pentameter.

My life?
Salvaging what's left,
'Til my final fucking breath.

My depth?
Monochromatic,
For a former substance addict.

Dreams.
Never lie.
But starved & cut-off? They die.
