Choke On Your Lies

Choke On Your Lies

 

You're just feeding flames again

Burning everything around you

Burning everything inside

And I watched as the light died in your eyes

I watched your heart slowly crumble

Into nothing...

 

What have you done?

What have you become?

 

When your world goes up in flames

Don't come crying to me

'Cause we both know who to blame for your misery

No apology can bring back the ashes

Or fix what's broken inside

You just keep ripping apart anything that ever lasted

Oh, how hard you must try

Not to choke on all your lies

 

Seems like the moment we all start to walk away

You turn around and show your other face

But it's just a mask, your promise is all a lie

And I won't die for you

No, I won't go down with you

You're the one trapped in the flames

And now it's your job to make it through

'Cause until you do, none of us will believe you

 

When your world goes up in flames

Don't come crying to me

'Cause we both know who to blame for your misery

No apology can bring back the ashes

Or fix what's broken inside

You just keep ripping apart anything that ever lasted

Oh, how hard you must try

Not to choke on all -

 

- the lies you've worked so hard to build

And keep spinning

All the lies will come back and kick you in the mouth

And you'll wish you'd never let it out

 

When your world goes up in flames

Don't come crying to me

'Cause we both know who to blame for your misery

No apology can bring back the ashes

Or fix what's broken inside

You just keep ripping apart anything that ever lasted

Oh, how hard you must try...

 

(What happened to the person I used to know?)

 

When your world goes up in flames

Don't come crying to me

'Cause we both know who to blame for your misery

No apology can bring back the ashes

Or fix what's broken inside

You just keep ripping apart anything that ever lasted

Oh, how hard you must try...

 

(What happened to the person I used to know?)

Oh, how hard you must try

Not to choke on all your lies.

[soliloquy]

This write is somehow logical and reasoning...and yet emotional and strong. Well done.

[Jetta Zippora]

Passionate and strong and what a statement. Great write, friend.

I loved this poem. Very emphatic and poignant. A trail of lies will definitely turn into a trail of tears once those lies are exposed for what they're worth. Great poem. :)
