Untitled Lies


Lie to me, to be honest,
 I will probably think that it's true 
Look at me,
 I will take the lies if you are willing to keep your soul open 
Directed to me,
 you said that you wanted more than I said I could give 
Gaze gone from me,
 looks like we both lied and I didn't think I could even try 
You left me, so soon,
 I thought the wind was an engulfing love until you past me by  
Don't hurt me,
 because I stay broken in my mind, shocked in my heart, and puzzled in my body 
You reminded me,
 I was told as a child many things, seems like I ended up believing them all too much 
Said to me,
 "you are a strange boy, don’t you know what's in your own mind 
 you're a handsome boy, don't you know what's on the outside 
 you’re a bad boy, don't you know what's best in your heart  
 you're a lost boy, don't you know the way back to the way you're from"
Lie to me, so when I hope that you forgive me, I don't have to try.
