you were afraid
to say no.
too afraid to hurt me.
but were you too afraid
to lie?
but look at me now
the way the well
is filling up
the way I'm drowning
in your lies
how you sit by
and watch them
scream my name,
trying to help me out
of the well.
but the more I think of it,
the deeper the well grows.
you stand by
and you feel nothing
no regret
no remorse.
if you do,
no one can tell.
you show no feeling.
as I am fighting for air,
they throw a rope down
into the water
i grab hold
they're pulling me up.
but it is going to take
a while
to get me out.
deception was thrown
in my face
lies fill up the well
your words dig it deeper
maybe just one day
light will break through
the surface
of these lies.
maybe one day
i can look you
in the face
without anger
without sadness
without regret.
but for now,
i'm going to keep
drowning
until the day I
feel the warmth
of truth
until I see someone
who wears the truth
on their sleeve
who has the truth
written all over them
then
my trust will be strong
then
i won't trip and fall
into a well of lies.
i won't fall into the same one
you pushed me into
because then
they'll be standing beside you
watching too
watching the same scene
you created in front of them
before they came around
maybe
i won't let it go on
as long as it did
between you
and I
3 months was enough
i took enough lies
from you
now my walls are up
someone just has to
break them down
