Life Like a Lie

Do you believe me when I lie?
Bury truth and all inside
Suffocating deep in me
No room left for hope to breathe
I just bury all my pain
Like this is just another game
That I will start over again
Just to find I'll never win

Of course, I'll claim you slipped my mind
But you're still burning all the while
I grow numb to thoughts of you
And I will make these words come true
You have yet to leave my side
But I'm still pushing all the time
Until you finally break in two
And I'll pick out the best of you

Would you hate me if I said
The most important lines you ever read
No matter how dearly held by you
Not a single word was ever true
Should I waist another day
Time that's building to the pain
In the final days you'll fall apart
Until you never wake from a shattered heart

Author notes

Of course, I'll claim you slipped my mind
But you're stil burning all the while

Please tell me what you think

    Is this about Mom? It sounded like it may have been. Or maybe about a girl you dated? Either way I love the flow of it!

      Thank you.

      I had some difficulty getting it to rhyme and flow and not sound like a 5th grader wrote it. Bad rhyming has that tendency, so thank you for the comment. It is much appreciated.

    original, your very talented

    why did this remind me of 30 seconds to mars? I think it's your style of writing... either way it's beautiful. you'd make a kick ass song writer

    very good. Why don't you leave her and just stay friends with her. Sometimes things are better when you are just friends with people. If you tell her you want to be her friend still stay in touch with her. I loved the write.
