Mimi-Mona Poetry: Don't Expect Us to be Sane, We're too Worn Out from Our Passion

I feel like I'm the hero in some retro movie

it's been so long on the other side

we will always have our lies

they will always have our lies

It's our life, this is our celluloid moment, my love

I've had no time to paint this place

sacrifice and living lies

they will always have our lies

Life's a mystery and there are no explanations

I'm so tired and it's all in my head

once we cried for dung and lies

they will always have our lies

You painted me with Henry Miller's watercolor

so I wrote you into my novel

sangria, pepsi, and lies

they will always have our lies

We can't fool each other as much as they'd like

we've more than a literate passion

never tell each other lies

they will always have our lies
