All Lies

You could have told me before.
Why provide a sweet illusion?
Why make me sleep in a dream
When I thought it was real?

For I hopelessly wondered you would be back, back for me.
That you would wait for me
But no you didn't.
So easily you revealed
But I forgive you.
We were too young
And you were too naive.

"All lies indeed."

******************************

I waited to tell you everything
The truth which kept me awake at nights.
I could never forget you
Though you think otherwise.
For it was a lie indeed
But I was scared, yes I was.
I wish I wasn't there in your life
For then you wouldn't have to live
My bitter-sweet illusion.

Though I wish I would have stayed
Not as what you wanted me to be
But I should have.
A future insight to what you were going through
Yet I remained indifferent
Considering it to be a silly love pang.

"All lies indeed."

Sometimes you are just stupid and naive. :)
