Lie to Me Again

Please, just do it one more time-
I need to hear your voice
even though your promises will fall through
like autumn mist through morning rain
let me hear your sweet voice again

I can already feel the pain in my heart
you have driven a spike in already-
but give my poor heart a moment's respite
and speak to me in gilded silver words
that hold no meaning

I would kiss your lips
and hang upon each word
though it kill me-

I need strength
you lend me a false prop-
a knife that promises to collapse
but drives itself into my soul-
burning, stabbing, twisting

phoenix rises
with the morning sun
it kisses the sheets beside me
empty again-

drown me in the false promises
and keep me forever in sorrow-
you bind me forever with your voice-

so lie to me again
and I will bear it for another day
