The lies eating through my flesh Burning in my eyes He can see them I don't want to hurt. I don't want to hurt him. His heart is so fragile And it lies in my hands He will never understand How I can call him my friend But to me, he's so much more. Two years with him He will never see what it meant to me It means nothing to him Equal to nothing in his eyes He's just a boy And I was just his "play thing". What happened to forever? He took it back. But now I found someone To promise it again But I still think back to him The one that took "forever" away The very next day So I turned to him for help Yet now I lie to him To hide the questions, tears and days When I call him and say How much I've missed him His face, his voice And the way he gets distracted so easily. And how much I still love him. But then my mind starts to wander And I go into my distorted daydreams Back and forth between The love we made And the pain it caused... The pain I caused. Thinking of his body Every inch and curve of his beautiful figure. The way I memorized his face The shape of his lips... How soft they are when they touch mine. The pictures make me shake And yet I can't look away Yet the one who loves me so, Trusts me so fully But these lies I tell him They burn through my skin They show in my eyes Eating away at the flesh in my heart I'm choking on my words I don't want to hurt him But I don't want to hurt anymore.
The emotional turmoil of not being able to let go of a past love and destroying a healthy relationship.
