I tell myself Im okay while I paste on my smile. <br />I can forgive but forgetting takes a while. <br />Your words hurt me they cut to my soul. <br />I said I wouldnt cry or lose control. <br /> <br />But lies were told and you broke my heart. <br />I told myself i wouldnt fall apart. <br />But still tears streamed down my face. <br />And you became my worst mistake. <br /> <br />My best kept secret and favourite lie. <br />My one true love, my hardest goodbye. <br />All those nights I spent crying for you. <br />Those tears kept falling did you cry too? <br /> <br />We walk down the hall but dont say a word. <br />All those sorries were never heard. <br />Our friends greet us and we say hello. <br />Waiting for the day when we'll let go. <br /> <br />The past sticks with us we cant leave it behind. <br />How I miss those days when I called you mine. <br />When you kissed my cheek and hugged me tight. <br />When you called at twelve just to say goodnight. <br /> <br />But you said those things and brought tears to my eyes. <br />We got beaten by a rumour and decieved by a lie. <br />I'll paste on my smile and tell myself Im okay. <br />I'll walk through the halls and survive another day.<br /><br />Silence Dogood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beat-by-a-rumour-and-decieved-by-a-lie/
