Tell me,
Whisper it,
Into my ear
(It'll be our little secret)
Show me,
Tell me,
With a sweet smile
(Your toxic, venomous vile)
Stay here,
Show me,
What never was
(Caught in a network of lies)
If I leave,
Stay here,
I'll come back
(Get away, away, from me)
But if I don't,
If I leave,
Please don't follow me
(Lying in a bed of lies)
I'll find myself,
But if I don't,
You're the one to blame
(Give me back my smile)
I'm still here,
I'll find myself,
But you make this even harder
(Trying to swallow me whole)
I see an imposter,
I'm still here,
Why did I accept you?
(Save me from this hell)

People don't only tell lies. They live lies.
It's sometimes one of the hardest things to let go of what we know or believe we know.
It's hard to let go of what we don't want to let go.
We can sometimes be conflicted; torn between two situations, choices or 'greater evils'; however you'd like to see it.
We may be wanting of it; not wanting of it to stop or go away. Maybe even almost like an addiction. We may know it's not right or good for us, a part of is might even want it to stop, but we just can't get away.
Have you ever been in such a situation? Are you caught in a lie? Caught in an empty promise that you so badly want to believe is true?
Until next time,

Early Stages
