When I Told You I Loved You Poem by Poetical Analysis

When I told you I loved you I was lying

You said it first & I played like I was trying

To merely respond to your expression of pure gratitude

I masked my meaning with a nonchalant attitude

But behind my eyes & within my mind

What I said & what I meant weren't really intertwined

They was as different a day from night

As the brilliance of the sun & the moon's hallowed light

I chuckled inside like a child

My most devious self was running wild

I told you I love you with a coward's soul

Now, I feel like I'm dying from mining for gold

Yes, I feel like I'm dying from mining for gold
