Poems

Accumulating Lies

How you had the courage to lie to me
Is a mystery to us all. What did I ever
Do to deserve this? Every word I said
To you was nothing but truth and every
Breath you exhale is contaminated with
Poison.

I would never associate with
Someone who could lie to another
Without a second thought. Just open
Your eyes and see you've hurt me; you
Are hurting me. I'd wish to go back in
Time, back before I ever even knew of
Your existence, but every mistake made
Teaches you something new;
Something to never do again. Mistakes
Are healthy, but it's not healthy to deny
Their identity. A mistake is a misguided
Judgement, but for it truly to be a
Mistake, you must feel regret. Regret is
A foreign feeling to you. Feeling is a
Foreign feeling for you. You're too
Numbed by your own sadness to
Realise what other human beings feel.

Lying is the most destroying of all acts
A person could do. Lies build up, they
Accumulate over time and that is what
Eventually kills a person inside. It
Would be less painful to have a knife
Stabbed through one's heart. Lies kill,
Taking on the role of poison as they
Slowly kill you without even a single
Mark being laid upon your body. There
Is no outside evidence.

I trusted you, with my all my breaking
Heart and you destroyed it.

I'd rather be dead.
