Living A Lie Poem by C.R. Ebowski

Living A Lie



I struggle for the right words to say
To explain to you why I did this
I fight back unwanted emotions
That might give away what I can not resist

I don’t want to live this lie
Every moment hiding the reality
I don’t want to live this lie
But being with him satisfies my sexuality

The nights are wonderful with you
The unconditional love is bliss
But there is a man that reaches me
Knowing the real me with every kiss

I don’t want to live this lie
A wife at night and lover during the day
I don’t want to live this lie
Knowing that it is you I betray

The truth would kill you
I could only imagine the hate it would bring
But I cannot go on living this way
So I will give you back this ring

I don’t want to live this lie
So tonight I will be honest with you
I don’t want to live this lie
And beg for forgiveness that I am not due

It is an honorable thing to want to tell the truth to someone you love....but then...not all honorable things are are the right thing to do....for instance...if you cheat on your love...why tell them....if you are truly sorry...just don't do it ever again. Too many good relationships are ruined when we hurt the other person...and are sorry so we tell them...only tell them if you ran over their dog or cat...or you can't pay them back money...but for God's sake...don't talk about 'Lovers'. I'm and old man and I have learned this lesson well.
