I Lie


Do you know what I hold, Locked inside of me? The secrets I keep, Hidden under lock and key? The protection that guards what beats
Underneath?

If you knew what I really am, Would you still love me? Could you handle the bottle that will come uncorked? For
I am

Only able to hold for A little while longer. When the cap comes loose you Will find
The opposite of

Everything I speak. I am Negative. I am doubtful. I am hateful. I am scared. I love you. Do you still like
What you see in me?
