Truth and Lies

Truth and Lies

A Poem by theopenbook
"

i needed to let you go

"

Truth and lies

 

I hear my heart beating to the sound of your voice

I know what’s coming next but I rather keep quite

Because I want to hear your words and lock them in my memory

And I know that this will be for the last time.

 

Truth is that I love you too

But in what way I do not know

Is it because you are a part of me since forever; or

Sometimes you just make me glowJ

 

But I can’t tell you that now

Because like in the past I will only end up hurting you

And I don’t know what I want; is it you? Or loneliness?

But what I know is that my feelings are true.

 

And the lie is that I want you to leave me

Because I think it will be better that we both move on without hurt

Of all the pain and misunderstandings that we faced

Is our bond of that worth?

 

I am like love unsure of myself

And I can’t let you bear it

I know you want to move on but

My one call leaves you stranded.

 

I know what I am doing is wrong

That I should stop taking you for granted

That either I let you go or take you back

But I don’t know if that’s what you wanted.

 

And i want you to know that

Now I want what you want ; the lie

And I hope you find the girl who makes you really happy

So that I can say goodbye.

This is heart wrenching! So written in pain that my heart aches. I have felt similar to this before, but I believe chances should be taken. Especially for love. Beautiful write. :)

i believe in this line that its quiet instead of quite:
"I know what’s coming next but I rather keep quite"
...
this has so much thought in it as well as what you said in your author's note, "this is my confession" really nice write, and speaking with heart and feeling

It reminds me of my younger years. . . so many missed opportunities because of my own insecurities. Lots of regrets and embarrasments. Well written!
