You built your relationship on pure illusion… <br />You sold yourself, <br />based on a pretense you didn't know. <br />So simple you thought, <br />never seeing what would become… <br />All to get what you thought you couldn't have… <br />So complicated the story… <br />So much the lie, just a little one… <br />So harmless you felt it was… <br />No one would ever think… <br />That it would, <br />come and bite you in the end… <br />You now stumble… <br />You grasp in the air… <br />Looking for answers that cannot be there. <br />You spun your tale... <br />So believable it appeared to be… <br />Never would you dream, <br />he would figure it out… <br />Fight you must to hold on to your love… <br />What a disaster it could be… <br />It is already in the making… <br />The end to your means… <br />Such a small lie, <br />that wouldn't hurt anyone… <br />Did you really think it out? <br />If you knew would you do it again? <br />You cry yourself to sleep at night… <br />You look for help… <br />It's just not there… <br />Hoping the truth will never come out… <br />So desperate you feel… <br />The fear in your heart, <br />leaving you sick to your stomach… <br />You try to manipulate the truth… <br />Trying so hard to deflect the lie… <br />Deeper and deeper you dig yourself in… <br />Knowing too late it's just not going to work… <br />The love you thought, <br />would hold together in the end… <br />You thrust your body forward to him… <br />You took a stab at long passionate kisses… <br />You shed your tears for the benefit of him… <br />You told him how much you loved him… <br />You just couldn't live without him… <br />All to fall silent… <br />You just couldn't admit to the truth… <br />Losing it all in the end…<br /><br />Kevin Carney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lie-24/
