your smile.
that grin.
that was all it took to make my heart flutter.

your kiss.
those lips.
that was all to took to make me want you.

your embrace.
that warmth.
that was all it took to make me feel at home.

"i love you".
those words.
that was all all it took to make me yours.

but a lie.
those whispers.
that was all it took to make me doubt you.

and a broken promise.
a shattered heart.
that was all it took to lose me forever.
maybe i should've never looked into your eyes.

How do I look you in the eyes every day knowing what I am
Let you believe I'm something more than this
When it's all a lie
You can't see the scars
You cant feel the weight settled in my heart
You cant hear my cries for help
I am an imperfect girl
Suited for a very imperfect world

Who’d have thought I could go from loving
To hating you within a day.
I don’t even hate you
I’m hurt.
And you hurt me.
The person I trusted most in the world.
I thought this time it would be different but
It looks like I pick the same sort of girls
Doesn’t it?
Lies hurt, I don’t care why you lied,
To protect my feelings or whatever ******* excuse you can come up with,
It ******* hurts.

You convinced me it was us against the world
but once you finished building your kingdom
I wasn't worthy of you anymore.
Kicked to the curb and drowned in the bottom
of your swimming pool.
- high and almighty.

I’m afraid to leave my bed this morning.
I don’t want to go to war.
The thought of these stranger filled hallways makes my stomach ache in fear.
And the strangers I know most give such caring glances, but I can’t help thinking that they loathe my presence.

I don’t like to lie.
But smiling does get me through the day.
school scares me

Are you okay, you ask
and I say that I am
though I haven’t been “okay” for years

I can’t decide what’s worse:
how okay I am not,
or that you looked into my eyes
and believed I was telling the truth

I can’t cry for help
as I fall into the abyss
so I cannot expect you to save me
but here I am anyway
hoping you might catch me

You don’t
and I find rock bottom,
let the darkness encase me
I cannot blame you, this is on me

If I had leapt a little further
perhaps I could have caught myself
but it is too late now

You can find me waltzing at an ungodly hour under a blood red sky
with tears upon my pain stricken face and terror in my eyes.

You can tell me to stop, tell me how I’m hurting myself,
and still I will pick at the same seams until I find comfort in pain

You can hear me singing “So don’t let me cave in” in a basement at a party,
and know that if I do, it’s not your fault.

You can talk to me and I will listen.
And here. In this moment. In this interaction, I will smile. I will lie.
I will say that everything is fine.

But what makes you stand out is that you never believe me.
You have no idea how much I need that.
please don’t stop. when I say i’m fine i almost never am. keep asking. keep smiling . it keeps me safe.

say what you want about me
cause i know it ain't true

your friends don't believe you
and that’s a sign of the truth

i composed a script for you to listen
to all the words that I'm saying

speaking lies ain't gonna fix it
or the destruction you made...
lyrics from a song I wrote, thoughts...

We hate when we are lied to
by people we trusted most
But how often do we lie
TO OURSELVES
These are the lies
that hurt the most
Hayley Rena Apr 2019
We say that we don’t mind
when lovers leave
when friends don’t believe
when this world is so unkind
Though, we do, oh we do
hearts wounded deeply
souls esteemed so cheaply
so what else is new
We are tired
tired of the paucity of thought, of feeling
and it leaves,
****, it leaves us reeling
And all the pain we take
and all the pain we make
leaves us emptier than before
please, please no more
Help us to just believe
in light, in Truth
though still we deceive
