Those words you've used a thousand times,
To say the blame is mine,
Just like saying 'Til death do us part,
It slowly severed us apart,
You said the truth would set us free,
These are the lies I believe,
This price we've paid,
For the perfect ending,
The hole you've made,
Isn't mending,
In this self contained world I can't breath,
Trapped in something I can't see,
This life like a dream; so blatant,
The object once so loved is hated,
Your words the poison killing me,
These are the lies I believe,
You're breeding malcontent,
Deep inside and I realize,
You're the one I resent,
Hidden behind a disguise,
A veiled truth,
Your words,
The disbelief inside,
Your words,
Only God knows the truth,
The things we've been through,
The illusion,
Your words,
The lie created,
Your words
Inducing my silence,
Your words,
This past we've written,
The past I choose.

sometimes we say things with every intention of keeping our word and things just intervene. So sad when that happens though. Then we look like liars/ Thank you for the entry.
