The Lie

She believes I'm a lie.
Too good to be true.
Too good? 
For who? 
She see's my exterior, 
The truth.
She hears my interior,
Konfused?
Nothing so pure should co-exist. 
Again, I'm too good to be true.
My mind, doesn't match my lifestyle. 
I'm humble, yet arrogant. 
I'm the truth,  yet a lie?
In her eyes, that's true. 
In her heart she's konfused.
Maybe she wanted proof? 
But of what?
Suddenly she didn't believe. 
Suddenly i was a lie.
Suddenly she was konfused.
She konvinced herself to believe in a lie that was disguised as the truth.
But there was no lie to begin with. 
She turned the truth into a lie, and yet, konvinced herself to believe in it.
Konfusion at its best.
Love at its worst. 
But for her sake, I'll play along. 
Maybe I'm a lie after all.
