Kiss of Lies

Tracing my fingers on his lips I knew they told me lies, I kissed them anyway I had loved the way love tastes... Fingers intertwined in mine, He said he was mine, He sealed it with another kiss, A kiss of lies Lay beside me Reminiscing On our highs and lows, And the years that passed us by- so slow My eyes told him i loved him The pained expression in his Told me he didn’t feel the same way. Kiss of lies Trying to change What evidently lies Ahead. I tried to memorize How his face felt under my hands And his posture when he stands I tried to etch His scent onto mine Grasping at anything that would Keep us close, Frantically trying Because i wanted him to feel the same way I wanted him to stay, My heart knew overtime That something had changed Kiss of lies In the life He had promised me Even when he knew he’d leave Kiss of lies He didn’t love me He just wanted use me One last time Before he said goodbye Kiss of lies On his tongue That promised me the world, And had me believing in Fairytale scenes And things made up in our dreams, Like “I love you” and “i do’s” With tiny hands That symbolized The depth of love shared. Kiss of lies That played across his lips In soft whispers And internal tears, I refused to be Driven by fear; Not this time, Love WOULD be my lifeline... He leaned in close, Brushed his lips against mine, Promised that he’ll always be mine He said it all with a smile And his Kiss of lies
