The Lies

Location

 

The lies and deceit

You try to feed me

It needs to stop,

Because im not hungry.

After all this time

I thought you would get it.

Time is meant to be spent

Not wasted.

My little heart, is in my hand,

I'm holding it to love you.

Taking it for granted is not what i expected,

from you.

Lies, and only  lies, is what i get in return.

No, don't try to please me.

I want to smile without regret running through my head.

Sad nights, tears running down my cheek.

No, this isn't love,

This is deceit.

Sorry, for the late realization that you aren't what I needed.

I take that back,

I'm not sorry for anything.

I try to cover up my pain, but foundation doesn't help much.

But I'm past all that.

I'm happy now.

No more listening,

No more waiting.

Happiness is all i deserve.

If you can not provide me that

Then you can go.

My door is open,

close it while I lock the door.
