Liar Poem by Christian Rivera

I'm trying hard to keep my lies at bay
Careful with the things I have to say
Lying to her everyday
And I can't make them go away

And she sits blindly as I speak
My words are half true and I feel so weak
Tears me apart and it's killing me
The love of my life is too blind to see
I'm with another and I cannot breathe

And she says she loves me
I love her too
At least I know that much is true

And she says she trusts me
And I die inside
In the end I know what this will come to

Burn me at the stake for lying
Burn me again for trying
Kill me and thrill me and lose me
She will no longer love me

I will be silent
For the remainder of time
I will be silent
For my selfish crime

I hope I never love again
Because one is not enough my friend
I hope I never love again
I don't want to hurt anyone again
