Why I Cry

You want to know why i cry?
Why each promise i make turns into another lie?
Why I can't seem to stay in one place too long?
Why even though we both know i want you here, i bid you to be gone?
I cry because there's no one here to care,
Enough to see through this mask i wear.
I cry because no one tries hard enough,
To convince me that i truly am loved.
I cry because when everyone's with me rather than gone,
I feel even more lonely than when i'm all alone.
I cry because everything about me's a facade,
Because every emotion i display is fake.
I cry because no one seems to notice how deep their words cut,
How each look sends me into a shell so rough.
I lie because i've been lied to,
Because i don't believe in truth.
I lie because it's all i know,
It's just another part of my sorrow.
I lie because the truth is what i stand on,
And when i reveal it, my stepping stone is gone.
I lie because the truth is tied to so much pain,
That washes over me like rain.
I lie because you taught me to,
Because of all the promises you never followed through.
I cry, I lie, without rue,
I cry, I lie, because of you.
