Face Me

Please

Don't hide behind your walls
muffling your whispers
weaving lies through those I know.

Don't then turn to me,
your swift tongue wrapping pretty parcels
of harmless remarks,
a mask hiding your face, your true feelings.

Face me.
Yell at me.
Let your mouth run freely,
throwing daggers,
shouting words,
echoing words.

I don't care.

Just don't embroider your lies
your rumors
into my life.
Don't smile at me.

Face me.

I don't bite.
