Lie
Lie
Is
A
Soft
And beautiful cloud
You can catch it but can't possess
I'm lost in a sea of twisting emotions,
the ship that I'm in
sinking more every second.
One last forceful wave
strikes right in the middle
and the stern and the bow
are now separate pieces.
I can feel myself being pulled under,
into the frigid, black water
I'm holding my breath,
but I can't much longer.
You can't hear me screaming for help,
so I just keep it all to myself
for no one can save me now
as I've already begun to drown.
"Forever," he says to me,
I just wish I knew what he means.
Does he mean forever as in until we die,
or until I annoyed him so much he's had enough?
Does he mean for all of eternity,
or does he use it to shut me up?
Everyone's definition of the word is just so different,
and I don't know his,
the one of most importance.
I love you,
I really do,
but I'm torn in two
because of the pain
we put each other through.

You say you want me
always,
but when you disparage my feelings
and I go on the defensive
and things go from bad to worse
in a matter of seconds.

I'm trying so hard
and maybe you are too,
but is this really worth
all that we go through?
i found the devil
i found him in a lover
