The Truth

I have exposed to you only 

fragments of the truth

for fear of rejection

I've been telling you lies 

from our very conception

I've had to keep track

of these lies that I've told

Did't want to slip up

Don't want to let them unfold

Don't want to get tripped up

from these lies that I've spun

but those words that I've said

just rolled off my tongue 

I've held onto these secrets

kept them locked up inside

I must let them out

Must swallow my pride

I'm afraid that you'll leave me 

once that you know

I'm afraid that in the future you'll no longer believe me 

I'm afraid that you'll decide to just get up and go

I'm desperately wanting to bring about change

All of my words I wish I could exchange

I'm fully aware that I'm deceiving you 

How I long to be able to tell you the truth

So now it's time for me to ask for forgiveness

I beg you to stay

while I attempt to clean all my messes

But if you should leave 

I'll quite understand why

I just can't continue 

to live with these lies

I had a relationship that was very much like this. I actually went to consoling for all of the lying that i did. And then i realized on day that she didn't love me at all, she could only love what I was pretending to be. She fell in love with the smoke, and my fire was dwindling.

the desire for love has the ability to make us believe in falsities and sometimes we lie so much that we start believing our own lies. . . thanks for the review
