Come to me, beautiful lie,

Wrap your fingers around my throat.

Strangle the life out of me;

'He doesn't truly love me', I hoped.


Wishing for death,

I don't want to be missed.

I don't want to hurt him,

'His heart won't be broken', I heard as we kissed.


His eyes pierce my false face;

Thoughts of a lone noose.

'I love you', he whispers;

But I'm soon to be tied high and loose.


Selfish dreams of a lonely sleep,

His embrace will then be a distant memory.

I never wanted to hurt him.

I love him so,

But I wish he would let me go.
