hypocrisy

we play at being your friends:
saying nice things and currying favour.
in our hearts we become your bitterest rivals
we fawn,
and plot to steal your throne.
love?
we talk about it with simpering voices
but all that is left to us now is power

focusing upon the sorry truth
sheds a helpful light.
you guide me out

phew

in your absence even our prayers become threats
