Lie.

I'll lie and say I'm over it,
If only for a while.
I'll lie and say I'm fine,
but only on the outside.

Inside it's different,
I feel broken, weak, worthless,
A failure in success.
I am the little demon,
in the embers of an angel.

Another ruined mind,
become consumed with time.
A broken fragment in the crack,
Unseen and unheard as i cry.

So again I'll lie and say I'm fine,
I'm over it, over him.
My tears will drown the pain,
Still I make no noise.

Because I lie and say I'm fine.
I'll hide behind this veil,
of both pain and beauty.
I am alone,
I am a mistake,
You can't take back.

I am broken,
Never to be made whole,
because of him....
I'll die tonight.

There have been plenty of time I have hidden my true feelings inside. I especially love the line 'I'll hide behind this veil, of both pain and beauty.'
