Look me in the eyes,
                       & Tell me the truth.

I'm sick of all the games,
                    & I'm tired of all the lies.

I know you're hiding something from me,
                                  & I know that you don't want me.
            So I don't see the point in staying,
                      Especially when I'm not worth your loving.

Don't make me promises you won't keep,
                            & Don't you dare say that you love me,
'Cause I know you don't mean it,
                              & I never have.
                   {I'm such a hypocrite}

I'm sick of all the secrets,
                   I'm sick of all the lies,
                          & I'm tired of having you speak to me without looking me in the eyes.                  

Tell me the truth,
                'Cause darling, if you really cared about me,
                                                  You'd think that I deserved honesty.
& You wouldn't be saying things just to keep me happy so you don't have to say sorry.
                         {But you're not the only one who's guilty of that}

Darling, if you loved me,
                      You'd be sure to be there when I cried,
                                        You'd give me a safe place to hide,
                                                              & You'd make sure that I'd never let go.

But baby,
            You've never been there,
                                  & Every time I tried to hide,
                                                     It was you that I was running from.

Darling, this is the end,
                       'Cause you and I,
                                         We were only pretend.

This was just a little something I wrote awhile ago. It's not based on anything that really happened, but there are bits and pieces of me mixed in with the character speaking through this poem.

i really like it... i think because it makes you think, and sets thoughts wandering about what is and what should be felt...
