Lie

All you can do is lie, lie, lie . . .

~*~

You wanted to know why I remained silent, I didn't speak

Or why I never allowed any of those tears to leak

I wouldn't tell you, not now, not ever

Because you know, you and I were supposed to last forever

To break my heart, oh that was so very clever

*

I thought you were mine, until the very end of time

But I guess this was just a big lie, was love such a dirty crime?

To make myself believe that everything you said was real

And that was just make believe, my heart you did steal

Now all that's left, well is nothing; there's nothing left to feel

*

I shouldn't let myself fall for anyone, on this reprieve my heart will depend

I didn't want to ever believe my whole life was one big pretend

You just played me like the doll I've become, 'til time's end

Leading me think that you were my trusted best-friend

But in reality, I was just your 'for a week' trend

*

It hurts to know what became of you and I

To know that this love was fake, my oh my

All I ever did was spent, one last try

On the floor now, I do cry

All because of one stupid, misleading, deceiving lie.

Relationships... how we find our - ways, paths walked... walking-our-talk.
The saddest thing is when the change is just one-sided even AFTER a week-of-weeks, isn't it?

I also like this one, I do question the Monorhyme in the last three stanzas as opposed to the split rhyme scheme in the first. It did read well, and only caught my eye momentarily. Strong emotions brought forth here. It reminded me of the break up my first fiancee and I had.... It was not a pretty thing.

Lies do seem to start a domino effect that ends up in heart break. You capture the essence of feeling hurt, used and misled very well. I really like the form and the look of the piece. It's easy on the eyes and in itself, artistic. The rhymes flow naturally for the most part. The only line that I might make a suggestion on is line 3 of the third stanza. Removing the word, "now" would make that line flow better in my opinion.

Overall it's a really well crafted piece of ink.
