Thankyou for lying

Thank you for lying to me,

for telling me at 4 am every morning

in-between sobs that broke your heart into pieces

and scattered breaths

that things would be ok, someday.

Thank you for hugging me

when the cries screamed so loud

that nothing else was able to be heard.

Thank you for never saying much

but loving me to the point 

that our silence 

would break through my deafening thoughts.

Thank you for all of your lovely syllables

that were the only thing

able to quiet the destructive ones

I always imagine.

You are more than the yin to my yang.

You are my heart pumping blood to every vein in my body.

You are my expanding lungs.

You are the waves crashing ashore with every inhale and exhale.

Thank you for lying to me,

but I wont be ok.

excuse the yin yang cliche!

Nice write. Your tone is strong and your thoughts are clear. If you don't like the yin yang, replace it. Haha

It's lovely. Even though it has a most deafening ending. :) I especially like the line " Thank you for lying to me.
