i love you
i still do
im still fooled

i thought you said those things
genuinely
gently whispered
from lips that tasted so good
turns out
to be all in naught

a sweet misguidance
one i chose to believe

a belief that i thought that you loved me

you cover up
a cover made of smiles and laughter
while drifting
slowly
slowly
slowly
drifting away
from what you know
what you loved
not knowing
why

not wanting a why
just wanting to die

like a wall i cannot hide
you spring out from my inside
hiding all my fears
concealing all my tears

you are a blank white sheet
something I put up in a heartbeat
you cover up my imperfections
things I see with no affection

a sweet sweet lie I live to tell
and only people who know me well
have seen behind this thick façade
and love me, even though im flawed

dear façade, you know me well
please let me go, let me break my shell

you are a morning glory
beautiful in every way
understated
underestimated

you close up every night
and open each morning
you are strong, dedicated
and won't be decimated

if it's a rainy day
you close and let the water get you
but you open right back up again
and have me smiling till the end

everyone loves you, dear morning glory
and sadly sometimes you cannot see it
we believe in you, you wonderful one
just keep going, keep trying hon

trepidation jolts through my fingers
as you grow near
the delicate soft smell of your being

set at unease
picturing all our moments
moments left behind in a dream

sweet lies you told me
the saccharine promises you made
float through my mind everyday

you never saw me in the light that i saw you
the things you said ring out in my head
you can never take back words

i lie here everyday
crying, crying, crying away
i would take the sweet lies over this hurt any day
