Lies

By Morgan Lewis

you speak of how you need me
"I don't know what I'd do without you"
and I wonder
What would you do?
You're a lover of women
of charming hearts
and baby, I'm sure you'd be just fine
You'd be on to the next
chasing tail
& I don't know why I stay
this competition for you fantasy
it annoys me
"Baby, I love you"
"Hunny, I need you"
How many times have you fed this lie?
"I mean it"
says the lie
I don't believe you
says my wounded heart
Because, if you really did,
you wouldn't have said those things
If I meant that much
You wouldn't hurt me
"Baby, I'm crying"
You try to heal, but
Baby,
I'm crying too.
