People like us project thoughts, <br /> in words we should swallow. <br />Liars like us promise all, but <br /> our vows are still hollow. <br />And I know trust never comes, <br /> but I beg you to try. <br />As I look in your eyes, <br />put faith in my white lie. <br /> <br />But I swear this one’s true, <br /> won’t return to revoke it. <br />This truth is set in stone, <br /> before I ever spoke it. <br />See, I’m setting you free, <br /> from my peculiar obsession. <br />I’ve kept buried so long, <br /> but its pushed for confession. <br /> <br />I swear every one of your flaws, <br /> is sprawled out before me. <br />And I never thought that your kiss <br /> could ever restore me. <br />What I’m trying to say, <br />is my eyesight is fine. <br />I’ve always seen, you’ve never <br /> been mine. <br /> <br />I never knew why, <br /> I wanted your soul. <br />It wasn’t sweet company, <br /> but something to control. <br />And we don’t long to destroy, <br /> the ones we adore. <br />I wanted you for the keeping, <br /> at the price of war.<br /><br />Snow Summers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/control-21/
