Hidden Lies Poem by Shyann Court

I use to sit by the phone
Day after day waiting for that call
But now im running around
'Going to work'
'Seeing old friends'
'Cleaning the house'
But dont you realize
I'm feeding you a bunch of lies
When I said i love you
It was all very true
But now when i tell you
I'm withholding the truths
I still got love
But it will never be the same
Last night I had to miss your call
Because right behind me
Was my new man, waiting to catch me
When I'd fall
He knows all about my rambling man
Yet he stays, all the same
If you had to live with out me, you would die
And if i had to be without him, so would I
Confusion is running its course
Now that I've loved an oil field man
I will no longer stand
Because in the end, all I'm doing
Is swallowing my pride, and hiding the lies
