i. words are lies
pretty little nothings
that mean nothing
and, sweet, we know nothing



ii. i try
but cannot see
like an old-school cinema
black-and-white film
never stole my heart
(it was always my opinion
that it looked best with red)



iii. words are weapons
unstable
(and dangerous-
when left to their own devices)
without a voice
words are empty lies
(and fall on deaf ears)



iv. it may seem like
hypocrisy
to weave intricate nothings
made out of nothing
but my own thought
when what do i know?
truly, nothing
but i feel something



v. this is my metaphor
can you figure it out?

this may be nothing
let there be no doubt

but if we look closer
it's easy to say

i'm creating an image
to show you my way

of seeing the meaning
beneath uttered cries

because with no meaning or feeling
all words become lies.
if im writing a truth or a nothing
