HALF-PRICED WISDOM

A different pair of lips is a completely different story. Different talk. Another truth. Oh, isn't it funny how hard we try to convince? Another set of blown kisses and broken promises. How many times do we have to get disappointed until we find the lips to press our forehead onto, close eyes to feel.

All the nevers you exclaimed, your lips suffered. We Bite them, we punish them. And then lick them off all the uncommitted sins. All the other lips they kissed when they didn't believe in the spark of it? All the unnecessary things they let slip the tongue when they should have just stay shut. Why do lips have the need to fill in the silences, when we only want to see if we can sit in silence together. The lips are king of bullshit and little white lies, but how they hate the innocent eyes. With which you can smile and not spread the lips, through which you can see how scared we all are and see how the heart is breaking. Even with the lips sealed, eyes scream the loudest.

Eyes I love, but I fear you sugar coated tongue and the way you use your words. The unbinding structure of sentences that have the ability to make my eyes look in the opposite direction of what is it you are hiding.

The strongest weapon I have, you have, are these set of lips that are too wise. They know too much, they understand too little, they are too quick for a sensible judgment, they are too egocentric to be aware of other's feelings. They think they know what they are on about. They want to be agreed with, but what if we are both wrong?

Who are we to trust more? Other's lips or our ears? They'd believe everything they hear. There is a channel twisting in the close of our heads, but there's no filter. We are just expected to know, depend on the intuition, on the judgement of ones character that we strongly believe we have enough life experience and saw too many lips do they're thing, not to fall for it yet again.

Just look at the dog. Look at his eyes, full of love and awaiting of nice words. Look at his ears, with which he cannot hide from and look at those lips that hide those teeth that can rip you.

We've got teeth too!
