Lies

I lied to protect myself
I lied to get out clean
I lied to keep my good image
But, to hurt you, that I didn't mean

I lied a little lie at first
Then it led to another and another
I feel like sinking among these little lies
The first lie i said I can't remember

I don't know what I said
I forgot what I have been telling you all along
You look at me with a calm looks on your face
It kills me because I know you know I'm doing wrong

I lie without thinking, Yes, It's my new bad habit
I can't stop lying to myself and to you
I think why Am I doing this but I just can't
I know I have to stop this, I don't want to hurt you

I lie alot but I know that one lie wasn't true
It was when I said I love you 
I know you didn't believe me then and you won't
But, I know. I know that I need you

Maybe, I was a little anxious 
Maybe I was a little insecure
Maybe I didn't want to be the one to get hurt
I know that my love to you wasn't pure

I know I said too many lies
Some were funny, some were too good
But I know that loving you isn't lie
My heart is saying that, and my nice mood

Another good one about love , lies, and deception. I knew someone like this. You can't stay with a person like this. It wears you out, don't you think . Good poem though :)
