Lie to me
Lie to me
Tell me all the things that you love
I mean hate about me
Tell me how much you care
You didn’t give a damn about me
You told me you loved me
Your truth sounds so foreign to me!
These bruises tells stories you know
Like this one
When you told me it was a mistake and you will never do it again
Your kisses felt like acid on my skin
I cared about you
But apparently loving you
Meant putting me in harms way
Truth be told I didn’t love you from the heart in the first place
I loved you from the fear pumping through my veins
Lie to me
like the many times I lied to myself when I saw your mask fall off
So let’s be honest
If you loved me
you would have never used my body as your canvas
Look at me your latest deformity
If you loved me
Your arms would have been my safety net
Your kisses would have been my daily dose of paradise
And when we are silent our silence speaks volume
We would have been the perfect melody
So if you loved me
I’m leaving so don’t follow me
Because I love me!
-Maryama Sillah
