He Lies

And to me

He lies

Hiding the truth in darkness

And evil

Taking from me the light

Making it so

I don’t know where my heart lies.

 

He plays games with me

With sweet words and actions

He makes me want to

Spill my world and

All my secrets

In a chance that he will confide in me

And maybe I will catch just a glance

Into that world

He hides himself in

In a chance that I might just be able

To understand him

Just a bit better

 

But he lies to me

Hiding beneath forgetfulness

And ignorance

Takes from me the information he wants

Then he turns from me

Hiding beneath a fake façade of toughness

 

And I can’t help

But hate him for it

Leading my heart astray

With False Hopes

 

And to me

He lies

Hiding the truth in darkness

And evil

Taking from me the light

Making it so

I don’t know where my heart lies.

 

And I look into the stars

And to the moon I ask

Why it is that everyday

I fall into his entrancing act

Hypnotized into his trap

 

And every night

Even though I hate him

Just a little more

I can’t help

But to think about him

As dark blue washes the sky

Thinking how he’s

Just like the night

Beautiful but mysterious

At the same time….

I love all the description you put in this, and the emotion seems real. ^_^ Also, I love the last stanza, and how the girl keeps saying she hates this person because he's hurt her and lies to her, but at the end of the day she juuuust might love him. XD Nice work, I really like this one a lot, it's got great flow to it. :)
