«Lies» by Kristine Joy Verdeflor Scianneux

Late night texting,
What are you doing?
Who are you talking?
Who is that girl?
Her number is not even registered.

You said it’s nothing.
She’s just your colleague,
But why she takes most of your time?
Why you have those gifts on your truck?
Is it from her?

What’s going on?
Tell me.
Is there a reason—
That I’ll get jealous?
Tell me everything,
Before
I’ll give up on us.
