I Lie

If I'm not hurt, it's sIt's never anybody's fault but mine

Mess everything up for myself

If I'm not hurt it's someone else

It's never anybody's fault but mine

I know that you don't want to see

The pain that sits inside of me

But when I don't acknowledge it I lie

I cry

Piece by piece I die

And ask why

And to myself I lie

I break everything I touch

Well now I've broken far too much

I really never wanted to hurt you

I question everything I know

But I don't want to cry alone

So everyone I love is crying too

I cry

Piece by piece I die

And ask why

And to myself I lie

I'm throwing up sick of myself

I turn my heaven into hell

I don't want you to feel it so I'll leave

I don't want to face my fear

So I'll just run away from here

I'm sure you'll be much happier without me

Cuz I cry

Piece by piece I die

And ask why

And to myself I lie

I wish that I could fix it all

Everything's broken, if not it's lost

I need to learn to love and not give in

If I could only see that you

Are all that I've looked forward to

I'd learn to pick my pieces up again

So I cry

Piece by piece I die

And ask why

And to myself I lie

You wipe away my blood and tears

You help me to forget my fears

I haven't done a thing to deserve you

But even when my fingers bleed

You only see the good in me

But please don't get to close or I might hurt you

Cuz I lie

And ask why

And I cry

And my broken pieces die

I warned but you wouldn't leave

You stay here right beside of me

We stay and hold each other together

Even when I think I can't

You stay with me and hold my hand

I'll hold on just to stay with you forever

So we cry

You bring me to life

Don't ask why

I don't want to lie

We can try

Pieces left to find

I won't lie

Stay with me tonight

Dry your eyes

Stay alive

Now you're mine

I won't ever have to lie

I like the way your poem progresses and we feel the emotions through your words...it rings so true of all the heartache a lie can bring on so many people...Nice flow!

A very good us of the flow of thoughts.
"Dry your eyes
Stay alive
Now you're mine
I won't ever have to lie"
I liked how you led to the strong ending. I believe lies can only twist things up. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
