Lies

Truths

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I lied to you in so many ways

That I forgot the truth

Believing in the yarn I spun

I tripped and fell for you

But you cut every string you saw

When you walked away

And I cried from the pain of loss

Begging you to stay

If you only knew what’s real

What I hid in my jests

You’d have only left me fast

And ripped apart my chest

In there you’d find my heart was still

No blood within my veins

For I had stopped loving you

So long what’s left was feigned

But as you fled my heart did beat

And tore apart my breast

I wonder when it started back?

Which lie should I put to rest?
