This Lie

by kyri   Feb 16, 2006


I know that you're lying. just not what you're lying about. that's just the way these things present themselves to unwilling minds.

and who's to say. where is my position so much better to judge than anyone else's is? it most certainly isn't.

but i have to make a judgment. i'm forced to. because life often requires it. i never wanted to, but situations demand. i don't know that i can.

i know that you're lying. always have. it's just something in my blood that curdles when the moment isn't pure enough. i know it, but i don't know what. and the worst is always my first stop. the worst is always least likely to disappoint. the worst. it always manages to happen.

i know. it's just that. i've always known, but. quiet songs. quieter hearts. try to hear them break, but you can't. they won't let. try to tell them that they shouldn't. but they have their own reasons.

it could've been worse i guess. still it could've been much better. there's no right way to love when. but it still can't be wrong. can it?

i just want to be able to lay back and watch as your life remembers itself. to uphold the love i've claimed. i've nothing to gain and everything to sacrifice. these are the wagers i have made. i'm no victim. i've no pages of protest or innocence. just wish i knew what i should do. leave you be. let you forget. isn't that wat this situation demands. hasn't that always been the plan. i die another death. and someone else learns to live again.
