Secretly Dreaming

“Lucky to have you”
“Amazingly special”

Why, oh why,
Can you not see
How much those words
Torment me?

The secrets that you dream
Hide in your jade green eyes.
The dreams that I keep secret
Are revealed in my silent cries.

So many nights
I’ve spent lying in my bed,
Thinking about
All the things that you have said.

So many contradictions.
So many ways to go.
How many times are you going
To make my horrid pain grow?

That is all
I have to say.
I’m sorry it’s just
One big cliché.
