the unknown

cryptic messages imprinted,
black ink smudged and faded
words clung every inch of skin
imprinted, faded, clinging—a sin.

“i love you,” it lied,
it never loved, it never tried,
it never had, it never did
a million times it always leered
feeding off from its prey.

“i loved you,” its words say
it didn’t, it never happened,
the past is its friend—

“i loved you, too,” you say, then—
a pause, a shaky breath, a laugh;

all at once you finally understood.

it was you speaking to you.

the unknown.
