She Lied

She Lied

A Poem by Athena Angel

She lied to me
She told me she loved me
For anything
No matter what supposedly
But she loved to set fire to all of my things
She loved to see my smile fade
And I couldn't understand why
It kept me up for a long time
And one day I'll sleep thought the night
I know one day

She lied to me
She told me I didn't care for her
But how can that be right
when a big chunk of my heart got torn out when she left?
I'm not drunk or high for once
And I can say this with clear eyes
I know one day I'll sleep through the night
I know one day

She lied to me
Through her teeth she said she wasn't going anywhere
That's bullshit cause once again she's not here
And I made her out to be something more
But I just didn't want to face the truth
I didn't want her to see me how she did
But I couldn't change the image
I couldn't change her mind
I know one day I'll sleep through the night
I know one day

I know one day
She'll come back to me
And she'll try to say
That it was just another bump in the road
But it was the one that drove me off the edge
And she stood and watched me fall
She loved to have the upper hand
But I was the one she needed
The one she assumed would stay
I used to count down the when she'd come back
But now I celebrate the peace it gave me
And I know I'll sleep through the night
I know it was right
