The Perfect Lie Poem by Brandi Lamson

They run into the room, just them two
Falling into an intimate embrace
After all they've been through, finally face to face.

Breathing heavy, trying to forget
All that has happened between now and the day they first met
The cheats, the lies, and the scams hand in hand
Now their lips meet in the middle of this strange land

All of a sudden, awakened she is
'Where are we, what's happening? '
They played with fire, now prepare to get stung
He leaves her alone, running away from something
What that something was she may never know

She tries to call him, day after day
'I'm busy, I'm working, ' he shoes her away
When they meet again, a stranger she seems
She tries to convince herself it was all just a dream
But somewhere beneath her makeup she hides
The fear, the anguish, the pain deep inside

Denying the fact that things were never perfect
She starts on thinking 'is he really worth it? '
It was all just a game, a game he liked to play
It's funny to think he just threw her away
Like a piece of garbage, they were disposed
They went down faster then they were composed

It's all in my head, make it disappear
She wakes up crying, covered with fear
When she thinks how he touched her, she feels sick
Thin layers of mascara smeared around her eyes get thick

She let you play with her heart
She made a mistake, now she's playing her part
The consequences are fierce and the game was well played
A game lost by her, and now she's ready to pay
