Liar

The cold gnaws at blue fingertips But not right by the fire I’ll act like I am serious To swear I’m not a liar The bottom of a swimming pool Is where I go to think To cease to breathe would end my duel But I won’t drown in a drink The screaming of the glaring fire Tells me it is my turn I stand and stare, I do admire But I’m afraid to burn I love but will not fall in love For things that fall will break But we are nowhere near enough And realized that too late You mean the solemn words you say Still I avoid your eyes Exaggerations, complications I’ve sworn to not tell lies If you tell me that you love me And I’m all that you desire Just know I can not say the same For I swear I’m not a liar
