i’ve been lied to

silver chain sat underneath your shirt, the shirt that you wore when we first met. 

see love is fake and honesty hurts but truth be told the loneliness is worse.

let me lie beside your darkness, use your shirt as a shield from the madness.

crawl into your veins and swim along your blood, let me be with you for the last time.

for i long to sit inside your mind and hide away with every last thought you think,

with every breath you take, let me hold you like a hostage. 

fingertips go blue but to me they shine gold as i intertwine mine with them.

i’ll taste the salty tears that run down my cheeks as you lay here with me,

savour the taste you left me with and to endure the state you’ve left me in. 

promise i’ll keep your demons sheltered and contain the sadness i hold within.

terrified they’ll tell me it’s not true, they’ll tell me i’ve been lied to.

i know you didn’t meant to say ‘i love you’.

made a promise to save you but i don’t know how,

perhaps this is the end, God will take you now.
