“When a person lies to you once all you can think is what else. What else are they hiding? What other untruths have been said? To your face, to someone else; behind your back. And how. How do you begin to clean out this room in your heart? Unearth the love? Wash the walls clean white? Undo their stench from your blood. Their stench from your skin. And how. How do you begin to detach from them. And the you in them. And the I in us.” — Ezinne Orjiako, Nkem.
When a person lies to you once all you can think is what else. What else are they hiding? What other untruths have been said?
To your face, to someone else; behind your back. And how. How do you begin to clean out this room in your heart? Unearth the love? Wash the walls clean white?
Undo their stench from your blood.
Their stench from your skin.
And how. How do you begin to detach from them. And the you in them. And the I in us.
