Lie To Me

Lie To Me

A Poem by Roshan Nair
"

This is a piece I've written for love gone away..

"

Say it to me once more that you love me,

I ask you again that you hold and console me,

That this world is just cruel and that I am unique,

They’ll not get it even if they tried.

 

Lie to me, that you will love me tonight,

Lie to me, that you we’re waiting all day to see me,

Lie to me, that you long my eyes as I long for your lips,

Lie to me, that you want me to lie besides you.

 

Your lies will last me this one more night,

The lights don’t grow dimmer till I hear your sweet song,

I surrender my soul to your glances, to keep safe in longing,

The dawn has never been a friend, cruel and blinding.

 

Lie to me, that your kisses will wake me up,

Lie to me, that you’ll see me to the door as I leave,

Lie to me that you’ll call me if its all going alright,

Lie to me, that you want me come back early today.

 

Your days seem more magical than mine can dream,

The boughs of the buildings were ours to perch,

Like birds of season coming together and call to one another,

I’d hold you so tender in my arms as you’d say you’d be ok.

 

Lie to me, that you’ll not leave marks when you go,

Lie to me, that this meant as much to you as it was to me,

Lie to me, that those embraces were all that was real,

Lie to me, that each touch of your palm said I was alright.

 

The day has ended again, there’s an even flow to the lights,

The cars move in melody, their lights yellow and red play their games.

This window is my friend again, the worlds eye into our life as it was,

It came to talk now that you’re just a shadow in my tomorrow,

and the saviour of my yesterdays:

 

Truth be told, you had the best you could get,

Truth be told, you didn’t lose the love you never had,

Truth be told, your soul is lonelier tonight but let the glass get light,

I’ll lie to you this once...she did really think your eyes had everything she needed,

Goodnight

Awesome work Roshan! You've got magic in your words. I specially liked the manner in which you've organised it..Leading 4 lines that's got a humble pleading followed by next 4 lines that vocalizes a sarcasm filled beseech "Lie to me.." and the pattern keeps alternating. And finally the amazing landing. Nice read:)

Lie to me, that you’ll not leave marks when you go,
Lie to me, that this meant as much to you as it was to me,
Lie to me, that those embraces were all that was real,

very beautifully done... and some or the other time i find myself singing these same tunes many times and to lie to myself that whatever it was beautiful and true...

am glad i came across your work

Awesome! I like your format! I have never been in love but...well...maybe sooner or later...I am just 13 and there's much more to go.
Well, the truth is, everyone lies, always.

Overall pretty good write. I am not a big fan of the artistic choice of repetition, though sometimes it can be effective. There were many parts that shown through and were very meaningful and made it a good read.

Thanks a lot! im glad you liked the write. I appreciate your kind review. cheers
This is an honest piece, I understand how bad it must be feeling amid those truth and lie game. I wish could feel something similar, but long back I left my emotions on a lonely island and the bottle with a message never reached there.
Good work!
