Plastic Lies

Names, pictures
falling like snow
apocalypse ash
glittering into my eyes

The allure of friendship (Addictive)
The hope of love (Addictive)
Kindness crushed
subverted into
plastic lies

Red-eyed hours
wandering the fog
of people behind glass.
People I don't know.
People who don't know me.
People who don't care.
Do I care?
If they die?
If I die?

I live for
the allure of friendship (Addictive)
the hope of love (Addictive)
Kindness crushed
subverted into
plastic lies
