A Perfect Lie

I told a lie.

You always appreciated my honesty and,

Felt like you can trust me about anything but,

I betrayed that trust.

I can't remember

Since when or how it started but,

The truth was out there

I was just good at hiding it

In fact i was so good

That this lie became a reality.

Then things happened and,

My memories surfaced

I couldn't keep it to myself anymore

I didn't know how to approach you

I was scared.

Scared that you will hate me

Scared that this lie will end and,

Scared to lose a spot in your life.

No matter how forgiving you were

This lie was terminal.

I considered writing to you

Words were never my forte and,

Putting them on a paper seemed easier

Or so i thought.

It wasn't easy at all

There was no easy way to tell the truth.

I'm making up another lie

I'm not concerned about you

I only care about myself.

Why was i even troubled

I just have to keep up my lie and,

No one but me would know

I just have to forget.

Everything will be like it always has

So dear me,

Forget that you're not who everyone thinks you are.
