Poems

Lies

By Irene Huebra Garcia

Without you I feel broken
With you I feel desperate
Without you I feel alone
With you I feel empty

My mind isn't clear
Not with the fog of lies you put inside it
It dispersed and now I can't escape
I can't escape this living nightmare

You hurt me
Inside I felt broken
As if I was a puzzle
Broken up into little pieces

That after I'm put together
You'll hang me up framed on a wall
As a priced possession
Only to show off

Never to glance at
Or give a single thought
Other than to show off
And take all the credit

You said I was special
That I was "the one"
But those were just lies
Lies that stuck to me like glue

Now a days
Everyone says a lie here and there
No one thinking twice about it
I guess I should have

We said that
we'd take our secrets to our graves
I did...
Did you?

You promised you'd be there
Even if I lost everything I had
Even if I was all alone you promised you'd be there
Guess that was a lie too, huh?

Although I can't blame you
Can I?
I mean I could
But I don't want to get blinded with the lies again

Not now
Not ever
