Poker face

by Richard Willems - Aquarius

They say time heals all,
but time only forms a scum
on the memories, when stirred
they pour out
fresh as when they were made.

I can pretend
I don't want you I
have perfected the art
of confusing you

but I'm not so bright
I can tell you the bald-faced lie
-I don't want to see you-
though you ask if I hate you
and I only smile.
