Wells up inside of me
as you tell me
I can't believe
this is all true
Please, Please
Lie to me
No lies could make me
feel worse than your truth does
Don't turn and leave
I know I've been
and idiot
to put up with you
But when you look
me in the eyes
And swear that you
love me, when I know
You don't
It's all worth it
The tears form now
as your hand slowly rests on
the door knob and
turns you out
of my life
I think I'd die
If this is my life
And it is
The pale glass
on the door shows
You walking down my path
Heels clicking
on my paving
Spearing my heart
with every step
I feel like my
soul's been wrenched out of
my body
I pour salty
pain on the
carpets though
it might as well be blood
You draw everything out of
me even though you're
not here
and I'm missing my most vital organ
She just got to the pavement
into her car
and her lies fuelled
the way out of this life
At least you were
good at lying
ones I could learn to believe
it's not like you were'nt good at
excuses
I open a bottle
of wine
red
Make a cocktail
with my tears in a glass
Take your photos
and drink them too
All the things you left
The hats and shoes
The dress you wore
at every important event
in our life together
I smell it
and I'm back in a time
when you, at least, were happy
I replace it and
pour another glass
I read the poems you
wrote to me
They were'nt very good
but they told me the
lies I needed to believe
to give me meaning
Another crystal goblet
filled with crimson
nectar
And i look through your
Boxes, full of
rubbish you couldn't bring
yourself to throw
out.
The cards I sent you
The gifts I gave you
The things I made you
keep
You told me I'd done
nothing wrong
and that you'd been lying to
me
I wasn't at fault
and you couldn't
live this lie with me
one more day
I drain the glass and
go to the bottle
But it's empty
Like me
How you left me
drained me like this
sweet red wine
then left
for something true
Im dying without you
And I'll die every day
without you
telling everyone we've
split apart
and that we called it
a day
Living in this house
we shared in so
many memories here
Please
Ill take the lies
Just don't go
come back
and feed me with lies
They've got more
substance than
you
