I lied

I Lied

I’m sorry I lied to you sweetheart

When I said that I was working hard

To keep us from falling apart.

 

You said that you were scared

Of losing me

But baby, I’m already gone!

 

When will you learn

That the tighter you tie the ropes

The more chances there are of them breaking?

 

There’s no use poking what’s already dead

Let’s face it, Frankenstein was only fiction

We do not possess the ability to bring dead relationships back to life.

 

I’m sorry I lied to you sweetheart

When I said we would be fine again

The sun’s not coming up tomorrow

 

I promised to never give up on you

But my expiration is overdue

All that’s left is for us to be true

There’s nothing more that I can do

 

Until you open up your eyes and realize that we’re through.

Love the picture you used to use with your poem! Your words were vivid in feelings and the expression of being through was clearly stated.

I promised to never give up on you
But my expiration is overdue
All that's left is for us to be true
There's NOTHING more that I can do

Until you open up your eyes and realize that we're through.

That saids it all in a relationship that's gone sour. It is sad when one party decides it's over and the other party is trying to hang on to what they already know is dead. Excellent writing!

Wonderful poem.I find strong feelings in it.I love how you make "nothing" pop out.With that you made it clear that there is really nothing to fix.
