Break Up - Ii Poem by Sathya Narayana

I say so many things
that I no longer remember you
that I
never loved you
and that I started sleeping sound
nowadays.
 I keep uttering those words
and you keep nodding your head;
thus both of us pleasing each other
and cheating ourselves. 
You know as much as I do
that they are lies,
blatant lies.
 I lie to myself that lies reduce pain,
calmdown the mind
and douse well
the burning heart.
May be to some extent-
as much as a little rain
on live volcano
