I guess I satisfied your thirst with a poison
One which can only be noticed after years of lacing your blood
Your tears knotted my stomach
I knew the moment I lied, that the lie would never be enough
I said only what I knew you need to hear at the time
To eat your icing before you squirm at the veg
It was already too much, I thought it would better to face the truth later
The false hope I gave you so bittersweet
The promise lost only made in desperation
a promise made which I could never keep
Knowing you needed me so badly
Also knowing I couldn't give you what you did need
Hope was the only thing I could give you
But it was the very hope that I gave you
That kept you imprisoned from being free
A white is harmless if you're trying to protect
A white lie if held onto turns into a black lie is what we choose to neglect
I should have told you the sour truth
Regardless of the hurt you felt
As the truth would have been found
If not then, then sometime else
I'm sorry it's taken all these years
To apologise for lying just to stop your tears
DU LIEST GERADE
An organised mess
