When I told you that I needed you, <br />I didn't mean it, I was telling a lie. <br />How could I possibly need someone, <br />who would intentionally make me cry. <br /> <br />When I said that you were special, <br />again, I was not telling the truth. <br />How could you be so f*****g special, <br />you're self-centered and have no couth! <br /> <br />When I said that you were everything, <br />you guessed it…I was lying yet again. <br />I lied to myself as well as to you, <br />because I thought you were my friend. <br /> <br />When I asked you not to hurt me again, <br />inside, I knew all along that you would. <br />You don't think about anyone but you, <br />you hurt me because you knew you could. <br /> <br />When I told you I was in love with you, <br />I knew better than to give up my pride. <br />I knew that you couldn't handle my love, <br />so guess what…I can safely say that I lied. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © 2004 Shelly Price <br />All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Shelly Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-lied-to-you/
