Worth the Time in Lies?
May 1, 2011
Lies
They burn me up
Consuming
Like a fire
Merciless it wages
A war in its path
They destroy me
From the inside
Out
You
You thrive upon this fire
Keeping it burning
At all costs
No matter
Who else is harmed
In the telling
And setting
Of the fires
It burns you constantly
Blazing red-orange from
Within
The fire is instilled unto your
Heart
No changing
No going back
You act like
You've done no wrong
But you have
Hurt me beyond those
Simple reparations
I wonder
If you ever regret
What you did
To me
I know
That I regret
Wasted time
With you
