  • Every time a man (myself) gives way to vanity, every time he thinks and lives in order to show off, this is a betrayal. Every time, it has always been the great misfortune of wanting to show off which has lessened me in the presence of the truth. We do not need to reveal ourselves to others, but only to those we love. For then we are no longer revealing ourselves in order to seem but in order to give. There is much more strength in a man who reveals himself only when it is necessary.

    I have suffered from being alone, but because I have been able to keep my secret I have overcome the suffering of loneliness. To go right to the end implies knowing how to keep one’s secret. And, today, there is no greater joy than to live alone and unknown.

  • ψεύτης

    You like lying on my floor;

    you like lying

    with every breath.

    Like it’s the carbon dioxide

    to your oxygen.

    And oxygen is what I’ve lacked

    since the kiss we shared.

    But you don’t know how to share completely.

    Feelings, secrets, and nights

    are cemented and imprisoned

    in your memories.

    I will forever remember you.

    You, as you lye on my floor lying.

    by: me.
