The Accusation In Answers

we are worn glass;
lungs shorn to a staple
of grammatical haste
that worsens when 
inhaled by smoke. 
 

He tells me:
believe in ghosts, 
and always let
pride supersede you. 

but I don't have much
faith to those
that only tell me
that time is ticking
right underneath rib bones
and cigarettes. 

There's no lines
to read between, 
and I lied when I said
it was fine, and okay. 

He says:
you're a cheater. 

And I simply say, 
tell me you weren't asking for it.
