I apologize.
That I tell Lies.

I apologize.
That these tears don't fall.
That I tell Lies.
That I don't amswer your call.

I apologize.
That this heart doesn't beat.
That I tell Lies.
That I continue to repeat.

I apologize.
That I don't trust.
That I tell Lies.
That leaving is a must.

I apologize.
That I've done wrong.
That I tell Lies.
That I don't belong.

I apologize.
That you can't see.
That I tell Lies.
That I am me.

I apologize.
That I tell Lies.

That's exactly how I feel about lies. they're not to convince others, they're to convince me. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

This is so emotional and touching. I truly relate to this. So many times I find mysel lying to hide and fake my real feelings but actually I feel like all those lies were told only to convince myself and not the others. Thank you for sharing this Keep on writing ^_^

This is intriguing and what a dark poem it is! (in a good way of course) It is such an emotional poem. I love it! :):)
