The Lies You Told

Was it hard telling me to move on? How often did you let my heart beat in your chest? And what about those promises? the ones we made on the sandy shores cuddled up? The ones we said together in the light of darkness/ Yesterday was us against creation and our minds spoke the same language/ Those tight moments, awe kisses and joy rides along lunal eclipse/ And what about the names of our children, the ones whose names would be gods and goddess? Let me regale you, let me remind you oh fair Lady/ Now I live with a scaring memory and dead realization/ I see you've met Mr., did you tell him about us, or what we shared was a figment of lies wrapped in conundrum? The road ends near/ Find me in the muddy pool/ By Zeus sword, those truths were melodies of lies/ Hugs were all but the blanket of illusion/ Let me wake up to the the Oasis of peace/ The lies you told left me unease. ©®Brains Diah Youlo
