Lies Always Burn

Scavenge for information

Lied to protect her from the truth?

Or lie for your own selfish habit?

Faulty words,

Mistaken hearts,

Shattering dreams.

Drifting into space

Leaving this empty place of sorrow behind

Leaving the pain from the lies so easily passed through your lips

No regret once spoken

Own selfish comfort to keep this secret locked up.

Does it numb the pain

Does it help you through it?

Does it let you drown out the horrors of your past?

I have horrors too

We all do.

Where is my way out?

Where is my escape?

How am I suppose to deal?

Alone waiting

Watching

Waiting

Watching

Hoping for a scrap of information

A minuscule notion in the array of schemes brought upon the weak,

There is no leaving the hell hole I'm constantly ****** down

Rotting on the inside

Why am I the one who ends up broken

******

Bruised

Forgotten

Mangled in the struggle towards salvation

Despair

Lies.

Always.

Burn.
