Like the echo of a distant truth,
So I decipher the words like coals
From your lips. It’s a truth that
You somehow veil even from yourself.
Yet, like the heat of the sun evaporates
Cloudy skies, so I’ve penetrated
Your tampered thoughts.
I’m in you head like a cold
and for me there is no remedy.

You look me in the eyes
And begin talking drivel. As
He speaks through your lips,
Screws up your thoughts,
Rewires your conscience to self benefit mode
And turns you against the trustworthy.

Very interesting. This poem sure is layered. I'm still exploring all of them. A nice write.

Dang. No wonder I can't shake that cold headache.

You made the reader do some thinking in this one, and that's a good thing to do.
Thank you.
