I Lied

I lied
  said it was okay for you to go
but in my heart
  surely you did know
I did it for your peace and rest
  escape from the last great test.

Too long the pain endured
  as your soul was cleansed and pured
by the suffering and pain
  what was left to gain?

I lied
  said I had said
everything that was needed
  but in the end you had succeeded
taking my heart
  as you finished playing your part.

I lied
 said my final goodbyes
and I promised to remember
 holding back my tears and cries.

Alone now
 I know the truth
I lied.
