Letters To You (Poetry Collection)

Can't Live A Lie

I can't pretend

It doesn't hurt.

That you left me here

And kicked me in the dirt.

I can't go on

And act like I'm happy.

Knowing good and well,

You're holding her instead of me.

I can't wake up every morning,

Go through the day faking

That I'm okay.

That my heart's not breaking.

I can't live everyday and look

As if waiting for you isn't hard,

Or sometimes I get weak

And let down my guard.

I can't tell people you aren't coming back because I know you will.

You'll be back when you start

To feel the way I feel.

I have patience,

But I do get weak at times.

I don't want to tell people I'm fine

Because I just can't live a lie.
