A Lie Like You
Let me take a look back at time
And read the signs that I once drove by
A glimmer in my mind; faint and distant
That whispered, “it’ll be different this time”
Falling for this trap, more deadly than a mortal wound
I smiled and opened up to you
I felt I could trust you, confide in you, give my heart to you
I let down all my walls of defense to let you in
I wanted you to be apart of me, and I apart of you
You seemed so true, so real that I could not see the storm of lies
With lies so forceful and overwhelming I would surely be destroyed
We shared laughs and promises
Moments to recollect and talk about again
You promised to never hurt me
And I being a fool, believed you
Slowly tides changed
You became more distant and we lost track of true blue feelings
My instincts told me to turn back but my heart overpowered my mind
It longed for you in such a way that I could not defeat
Warning signs flashed so bright that I was blinded
My better judgment flew away on the wings of my dreams involving you
Now I see, that it was all a lie
A deadly lie, that deceived me so well
With you in control I was mesmerized and didn’t see the haunting truth
Cascading tears flow down my face
I’ve realized what is true
You don’t love me
But I love you
Can’t you see the problem here?
Why did u lead me on?
I’m not a dog on a leash
I thought better of you
You seemed far better than all the others
I see I was wrong
I’ve lost faith in people
And sadly, you’re the reason why
I wish I could rewind to the day we first began talking
I would take back almost everything I ever said
I’d keep my walls up
And shut you out
I’d take the key to my heart and lock it away so you can’t have it
Do you feel guilt?
Sorrow?
Any emotion towards this at all?
Please tell me that you do, so I know you are human.
You took my heart and shattered it to pieces
Yet, you carry on while I drown in sadness
If you truly cared, you’d come back to help me
Yet, you leave me here to suffer from heartbreak
A lie of love is the worst form of torture there is
Few things hurt more than being lied to
Being told that you are loved, only to find out it was never true
I need to let you walk
If you were dumb enough to go,
I need to be smart enough to erase you from my life
So this is goodbye,
I hope that you are happy without me by your side
And I hope that you can live with the guilt of breaking my fragile heart
That I once gave to you, because I loved you.
