Sweet Lies

by Samantha - Scorpio

In the past, the one thing that I wanted
Was always what I had said
That I didn't want
It's confusing, I know
Yet somehow, someway
I always wanted them to lie to me--

Lie to me, please
Say that you'll be there
Always
And never leaving
Say that I am your one and only
And that you'll be faithful
And love me in just the right way
Promise me that you won't turn on me
Use what I say against me in some form
Or say that you'll be there and then go
Don't do any of that
No
Just promise
Promise that you'll love me for who I am
And not for how good I am in bed
Or on the floor-or in the car...
Or God knows where else that we did it
Tell me that I have the most beautiful smile in the world
That I make you happy everytime our eyes meet
And that when you see me, you feel just the way that you did the first time we met-
Hopelessly and dangerously in love
And remind me that you love me, every moment that you can
Without a second breath

--Yet when they said those words
Did those deeds
Somehow, someway
I knew...
I just knew... they were lying
But I didn't show it- didn't show that I knew
And so everyday, I stayed by their sides
And went on to pretend
That those lies were true.
