Lie To Me
Lie to me please.
Whisper sweet, terrible, beautiful untruths
In the dead of night
When everything is still and lonely
Because I cannot bear to hear the truth now.
Lie to me please.
Tell me I am beautiful, tell me I am brave, tell me I am not broken,
In broad daylight on the sidewalk
Surrounded by strangers
Because I need there to be witnesses
To the ugly comforts you can give me.
Lie to me please.
Fake your love to me in gentle kisses
And satiny palms pressed against mine
And pinches to remind me that I am real.
Pretend to love me,
Never fall for me. That will end in only
Broken hearts, because all you know
Is that hurting others makes you
Feel in control.
Lie to me please.
I don’t care what you say,
Just don’t make it true.
The truth cuts like a blade,
Staining everything red with my blood.
I will not stop bleeding.
I’m sorry for bleeding on your carpet.
Lie to me please,
My dear, sweet lovely.
Lie to me, and do not stop.
