I lied

I Lied

I’m sorry I lied to you sweetheart

When I said that I was working hard

To keep us from falling apart.

 

You said that you were scared

Of losing me

But baby, I’m already gone!

 

When will you learn

That the tighter you tie the ropes

The more chances there are of them breaking?

 

There’s no use poking what’s already dead

Let’s face it, Frankenstein was only fiction

We do not possess the ability to bring dead relationships back to life.

 

I’m sorry I lied to you sweetheart

When I said we would be fine again

The sun’s not coming up tomorrow

 

I promised to never give up on you

But my expiration is overdue

All that’s left is for us to be true

There’s nothing more that I can do

 

Until you open up your eyes and realize that we’re through.

Love the picture you used to use with your poem! Your words were vivid in feelings and the expression of being through was clearly stated.

That saids it all in a relationship that's gone sour. It is sad when one party decides it's over and the other party is trying to hang on to what they already know is dead. Excellent writing!

[Lily Mae]

This is powerful and I found myself in pieces parts.. Probably guilty of poking something to death in hopes that one more poke might waken it again.. Your words are always intense and true..and I like that about your work..x

[Muse]

The picture demands the reader to STOP...read...and pay attention. Your point was heard loud and clear. Abrasive....but brilliant penning. xo
