Never mind, I take it back

Never mind, if you're still mad

Fine, but you'll just drag it out

Fine, nothing to talk about
You are digging yourself a hole, and don't say I didn't warn you

You catch life
one tear at a time
to one day
fill an ocean.
I heard you liked short poems, so here's one for you.

Everyone lies
From kids to adults
Most of them lie
And some do until they die

Some lie for others
Some lie for themselves
Some lie for amusement
So which one are you?

Would you lie for your friends
To save them from themselves
Or to save them from others
And sacrifice yourself?

Would you lie to yourself
To make you feel better
So you'll stay yourself
Even at the cost of others?

Would you lie to amuse yourself
To watch others fight among themselves
Because of something you did yourself
Just because you hate everyone else?

One of these is probably you
And I'm one of them too
So again let me ask you
Which one are you?
Have you ever sat back and watched your whole world fall apart?
You spent hours,
Days,
Months,
Years,
putting it all together piece by piece,
brick by brick,
just to be helpless when it all comes down.
Watching it all crumble after all the hope and aspirations you built up for.
After seeing your future and carefully constructing exactly what you needed, just to see it disappear into the darkness you always feared.

You ever love someone with your whole heart and realized it wasn’t enough?
To live,
Love,
  Laugh,
so hard your worries become something of a distant nightmare.
You remember your depression as a figment of your imagination.
You loved so hard that they became your world.
Have you ever realized that you did all that you could do,
but it still ended unfortunately,
and all you want to do is reverse time and get them back?
But reversing time doesn’t erase your memories.
All the pain is still there.
Your world and love still left you.
