I Love the Way You Lie

I know that you are seeing someone else, I'm not there when you close your eyes, I believe that you are kissing me, Knowing I love the way you lie. I hear those three words from your lips, If love is even possible, it's impossible to cry, Though I know your heart is not truly mine, I will always love the way you lie. Your arms hold me as if you care, My wise heart still wonders why, Pretending that everything is alright, Because I love the way you lie. When I kiss you I think about nothing, Wishing it wasn't you when I open my eyes, I wonder, if I told you the truth, Would you love the way I lie? Written for Just That Archaic Poet's contest - "Sing To Me" Inspired by the song "Love The Way You Lie Pt. 2" by Rihanna ft. Eminem
