#the Way You Lie # Poem by Sthelie Jean

LOOKING BACK WITHOUT A LOOP

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ALL YOUR ROOTS.

GUARDED ALL YOUR WORDS FROM DAY ONE 'TIL NOW.

HAVING A WAR AT EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU COME IN MIND.

YOUR FACE SAID YOU LOVED ME BUT INSIDE YOU WERE WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT.

QUESTIONING MYSELF FOR FALLING FOR YOU BUT RECEIVED FIRECRACKERS.

SCREAMING AT MY REFLECTION, THEN GET LAUGHED AT.

YOUR VOICE KEEP ECHOING IN MY EARS LIKE MOSQUITOES IN FALL.

GOING INSANE BUT REMAIN SANE.

YOUR CUPID AIMED MY HEART AND BREAK IT IN HALF.

AND YOUR REMEMBRANCE CHOPPED IT INTO PIECES.

LOOKING FOR A WAY TO REWIND THE PAST BUT INSTEAD I'M GETTING DEEPLY INTO THE FUTURE.

TRYING TO ERASE MY MEMORY BUT THE WAY YOU LIED STUCK IN MY BRAIN AND CHOSE TO REMAIN.
