You fill yourself with toxicity
Wish you could see
The beauty I find
Which lights you up

It never goes away
Always there
Your brown locks
And everything below

Your smile shines bright
Like there's not a care in the world
But I know what's hidden underneath
The things you want to hide from

I wish I could know
To hold you while your spiral happens
So you feel my embrace
And be loved instead

I know you hide from yourself
I wish I could tell you
I'll care for you
But I know you won't believe

Is there some way I could show it?
That I'm not going to leave
Because of your inside
Haven't I given you proof already?

I understand it
But sometimes you have to explore
And discover the pain
To turn it into comfort

You'll never find satisfaction
With your inside
If you're lying to yourself
It'll effect the outside too

I know it's hard
But I want to do this with you
I don't abandon people
So please
Can I come in?
Let me know what you think.

If the truth is a lie,
Does that make a lie the truth?
Or is it simply denial?
Another example of the mind
Trying to find meaning
When it comes across something
It doesn't understand?

You seemed
So close
By my side
Then
But of course
You told
A lie
Falling through webs
Away
From the truth
You
Went to a place
Where
I couldn't reach
Or stay
True

My desires are
to **** my feelings
to freeze my emotions and
to numb my pain

Lying hides my desires
a low flying crow
eyed pumpkin seeds lying
in Helen's backyard

there she went,
back into her mind
the noiseless depths of anticipation.
her reactions?
controlled.

people drop like flies
if i find out the truth
is actually lies

i've never understood love,
its always seemed like a tug-of-war.

why even fall
if only one walks through the door?

people lie
and people cheat

i guess that's the reward
for thinking love is cheap

Lie
If I lie to myself,
Perhaps everyone else will believe it
Too
It’s not really a poem, but it’s how I feel...

Deep down I knew, that you would never fail, and never or stray off your trail.
From telling me what I think was the truth yet also a lie, you’re so good at hiding, you.

Deep down I knew, that I was just for you to *****.

It’s out of the sheets now.
Ever been told something over and over yet a completely different story from another person.
