Foolishly Standing.

by Sarah Ann   Apr 22, 2007


If you lie to me tonight
Beneath the starry moonlit night
And I listen, and believe
When you promise you won't leave
Would you ever feel the guilt
From the lies that you have built?

Whispering in my ear, I fear
Will never keep me standing here.

If you sing to me a song
But the atmosphere is wrong,
And I smile, still content
Because I think of what you meant,
Would you stop to speak your mind,
Just to say it right this time?

Singing broken notes, I fear
Will never keep me standing here.

If you give to me a gift
Come to seal it with a kiss
And I quiver, out of breath
Because I feel our hearts have met
Would you ever say the truth
Or just let my heart be used?

Perhaps you know through this I fear,
I'm foolish.
I'll be standing here.

    Thought this was a really good poem, and i think you're right, we fool ourselves into believing what they say is true, because we so much want it to be.
    Well done x
