Lies

Dec 2017 Graham

She Writes

Lies

Your lips tell the simplest of lies
How much you love me
I’m beautiful in your eyes
How gullible can one be

I’ve forgiven before
I’ll forgive again
always coming back for more
Perhaps I live for the pain

Why can’t I just say no
Pack up my things
Finally let go
Stretch out my wings

My brain tells the simplest of lies
I need you, without you I’ll die

T.E.

Memories

I once had it all,
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.
I once stood tall,
Unaware that I was marking my own fall,
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.
My fate was ringing and I ran too fast to answer the call,
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.

I'm not a verbal person,
But just hear me out,
It's not you, I'm the reason I had doubts.
Now let's make this clear,
It was a nice love affair
That ended too soon
But I'm the one to blame for its sudden fall
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.

What can I do,
I don't deserve you,
But I don't know what to say,
But if I may,
Will you please stay?
Ugh, I'm sorry
My feelings are a brick wall
Writing this poem is like understanding a brick wall
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.

I once had it all,
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.
I once stood tall,
Unaware that I was marking my own fall,
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.
My fate was ringing and I ran too fast to answer the call,
Now I get to suffer from the memories of it all.

girl in the mirror

I want to talk
I want to tell
I want to share

Share about this pain in my heart
The aching of my soul

But I don’t
I keep it bottled up
So full I fear it will explode
Shatter into a million pieces
Scattered around me
Like the wreckage,
Or aftermath of a war

A war against myself
Long fought
But I don’t think I’m winning

Most days I feel as if I will always be losing
Losing myself

Phantom whispers caress me
Their volatile words shock me
The painful spasms of my heart
beat in time with my thoughts
swarmed in fears

Fears that I am not good enough
That all that I am, will never be enough

These fears take form
Until they are all that I can see

When I look in the mirror
I won’t even see me

Create

Create

Create,
A world
So beautiful
That every being will
Be happy living in it. Let
Everyone be who they want
To be. Without making them feel
Less special.
We were all born therefore,we all
Deserve to live before we
Leave this world. But
Its no use waiting
To be accepted.
Accept you
Accept who you are.
And love you
First

Throwing Knives

Throwing Knives

Everything you had to say
Every. little. thing.

You used them as weapons
As knives

Every thought that came into your head was a knife in your hand
Like throwing knives you had sharpened them and aimed

Every sentence that came out of your mouth
Every word that entered the open air

Every single word sliced through the air like a throwing knife
The moment a word left your mouth, a knife was thrown

I always saw it coming
Every. single. Time.

The windup right before it’s thrown
Right before its said

Time standing almost still
As it slowly pierces through me.

The impact of the knife wedging into my heart
The impact of the words burning into my brain

Blood and tears
Knives and words

While I was at my most vulnerable
You saw me as a perfect target.

Perfect for throwing knives.

Maybe...

Eternal Dreams

Maybe...

Maybe you were everything to me because I had nothing.
Maybe I loved you because I didn't know how to love myself.
Maybe I tried harder because you didn't care
Maybe it's hard for me and it's easy for you
Maybe I stayed up because you slept me away
Maybe I told the truth because you always lied
Maybe I cried you away because you laughed me off
Maybe I was sad, and I wanted you to make me happy
Maybe you are the sun, and I am the moon
Maybe I had a reflection of you because I longed for you
Maybe I loved you....or it was just a crush
Maybe I fell for you but you didn't catch me
Maybe there is a reason why I'm going through this
Maybe I'll look back and laugh because it was obviously a joke to you.
Maybe I just fear the unknowns, that maybe it's the unknowns in my life thats torturing me
Maybe I should run away
Maybe I should forget you and leave everyone behind
Maybe I want to run because it's easy
Maybe I have these feelings for you that I warn myself not to have.
Maybe I don't care if I caught feelings for you
Maybe I'm content with having you around me
Maybe I'm okay having you nothing more, nothing less
Maybe I'm slowly, but surely accepting my fate.
Maybe, just maybe, you were the one for me, but I wasn't even a number on your list.
Maybe I wanted to burn bridges, but you were the one holding the match.
Maybe I see a future with me and you together
Maybe I wanted you to love me
Maybe you should of stop running from it
Maybe... I'm just tired of saying maybe
