I loved someone, once, They brushed their teeth with wishes of hope, Just so i could wake up to them spouting lies of heavenly grounds, But still i stayed, They said to walk one step at a time, But that was hard when my own shoelaces were out to get me, And yet I slept, They spread a religion of love, Knowing the bible was AI generated, And yet I believed them, They would force the words into my throat, Suffocating me with their false fist, And yet i loved them, The city was so busy yet no one saw the tears on my cheeks But i painted them red to show my devotion Abolishing my temperament, My truth was blended with busy traffic, And yet… I stayed.

Truthful Lies
I loved someone, once, They brushed their teeth with wishes of hope, Just so i could wake up to them spouting lies of heavenly grounds, But still i stayed, They said to walk one step at a time, But that was hard when my own shoelaces were out to get me, And yet I slept, They spread a religion of love, Knowing the bible was AI generated, And yet I believed them, They would force the words into my throat, Suffocating me with their false fist, And yet i loved them, The city was so busy yet no one saw the tears on my cheeks But i painted them red to show my devotion Abolishing my temperament, My truth was blended with busy traffic, And yet… I stayed.
for the one i stayed with
