Me my true love did decry
Cry

She on whom I did rely
Lie

Now I see her walk on by
Bye

A bitter adieu—
Bid her adieu

“Whatever is true,” she said,
“I want better for you.”

What’s true is that I am alone in my fight
The darkness that swallows the light
For whatever is true, dear Mother
Is your baby was hurt by another

What’s true is that I stand alone
Cowering before the Wicked One’s throne
For whatever is true, Father dear
Is your little girl was stolen from here

What’s true is that I’m losing my mind
Every step pushes me further behind
For whatever is true, dear Friend
Is that I am drawing near to my end

I found it easier to lie
To just smile
Pretending to be fine

Than to explain
What I truly feel
To people who won't listen
When they speak I listen, but if it's my turn they won't.

"I love you"

We may say it
but do we mean it?

we search for it
but do we know how to handle it?

"I love you" is one of the most beautiful phrases to tell
a person, they're someone special in your life

but this phrase has been abused
this phrase as been misused

to describe a petty crush
or it has been confused with lust

"I love you" nowadays is said to anyone
when it's meant for your "the one"

the girl/boy you just met online,
"i love you"

the girl/boy you just had *** with,
"i love you"

the girl/boy you hate,
"i love you"

i love you is suppose to be something genuine
you tell and you want all your loved ones to say

but why do we treat it as an excuse or a reason
to force someone...to stay?

Pain speaks truth, so does love.
Singers raise their voice above.
Not only to converse, but to express,
a sleeping beauty in distress.
A diamond under modest flesh, eyes and breath.
Given out with passion, to eyes ears and those at breast.
To flame thought from its shine, weather mine and without fine.

Liars sing too, in choirs of deceit and malady.
Their tenors to their sopranos mundane.
So they flee to song in order to fabricate glee.
They pile notes beneath their feet, to rise above the fleet.
They’ll just as soon pile their fellow members,
as they would the audience below them.
At whatever cost it takes to fly, they’ll pay.

Flight however is true, and eventually lies fall.
Wings built of plastic are sure not the call.
Reparations will be met at the terminal.
For those who lied above all.
But even on the ground, they’ll sing.
They believe their lies so deeply,
their contrived melodies are reality.
If you don’t like their composure, then dip your ear’s shoulder.
But find medical consolation, if deception and lies bring you anything but butterflies.

I'm fine.
So don't question why
tears are filling my eyes.
I'm stressed
to do my best.
I must confess,
I'm a mess.
All this work in front of me,
the work,
it hurts my mind.
So don't wonder why
I will sit here and lie.
If you ask if I'm okay
just know I'll say
the same thing every time.

I'm fine......

I will not lie
Every year on this very day
the more I want to die
but is the voices that keep me alive

On this day
I'm expected to be happy
as everybody wishes me
But I've always felt empty

Nothing has changed
Every year is the same
From the silence in my room
to the noises in my brain

My wish for every year
will never be different
whether or not I could be happier
Then the previous birthday
Will I ever be happier on my birthday?
Am I selfish to just wish to be happy?

Don‘t do this please oh won’t somebody ******* stop me,
I’m ruining  my life and I’m leading double lives  cheater!
Don’t want to lose  you  cause you mean the world to me,
Look at  my lying  mouth  why is distance so ******* far?
Is this just a  simulation and are we just in my head what,
What do you want from me  or  what do I want from me?
Nobody loves you because  you  can’t even love yourself,
But you’re so addicted to that wanted feeling you need it.

Is she just a joke to you and are you going to ******* hurt her too,
There’s nobody else in the entire world that you can shove this on.
No buddy this is all on you yes this is all on you  no  it’s all on me,
I am the lie and you’re the one lying I’m so disgusted with myself.
Should  stop this  drop  the  phone  you love someone stupid ****,
Just  stop this ****  drop the  phone  and drop  your lies it’s stupid.
Don’t want to lose you and to hurt  you  but  I think I’m bound to,
I‘m such a mess why do you love me I’m such a wreck ****!!!!!!!!!!

Leave me behind I’m sofuckingusless and I’m sofuckingworthless,
I’m just a sad excuse of a human-being you don’t want to love me.
Loving me is a curse because  I can‘t  accept it Ihatemyselfsomuch,
I thought that maybe someone  could ******* save me was wrong.
Think I’m the only one that can truly save  myself thing is though,
Just don’t know how to do it though how  to ******* save  myself.  
But I don’t think you can help me so you should  leave  me  alone,
Probably it’s best if you just shut of  your  emotions  self  destruct!
