Lies


Love is lost
One more time,
But yet I’m sitting here
Writing this rhyme.

I thought…
He loved me,
But now…
I can see.

I’m an innocent bystander.
Standing by.
Just standing there
Waiting as I sigh.

I can’t believe this,
This big surprise.
I didn’t know
They were lies.

What is a promise if it is a lie?
What is love if it makes me want to die?
