I’ve lied to everyone I know,
I’ve kept it all inside,
My damage doesn’t even show,
It became easier and easier to hide

You were different
You accepted me from the start
I couldn’t hide anything from you
No matter how hard I tried

You loved me when I am mad
You loved me when I am sad
You loved me when I cried
You loved me when I lost my mind

I know you love me with all of your heart
But I am sorry, I am so sorry
To have to lie to you now
And tell you that I don’t love you back

This paper is clean and pure
Just like your heart
My ink is dark and heavy
Just like my soul

Once splintered, cracks remain
No matter how you mend it
I refuse to mar your beautiful spirit
Make you bear the stain of my love

I love you too much for this.
