I'm Sorry, I Lied Poem by Raimi Babatunde

If I tell you the truth
Would you stay
Would you still love me
Sorry I lied
I was afraid of losing you
Please forgive me

Put it on me
I take full responsibility
I have been living on lies
Infact, I am a lie
Maybe because all men lie
Save for a minute minority

I am sorry I lied
It was my last line of defence
I watched you cry
I heard you scream
You wished you never said "Yes"
Please forgive me
I didn't mean to hurt you

I am just a seed of Abraham
Who lied to protect his own
But how can an annoited llie?
He did to protect his own
Honey, I also did lie
Solely to protect our love

Sometimes I tell blue lies
Other times the colour is white
But all the time my love is pure
I wont trade you for anything
Why do people lie
For fear of the unknown
Will she still love me?

I make you a vow today
I am now born again, again
All the bad things I used to do
I'll do them no more
Did I just lie!
Oh! God help me
I just want to back
Please forgive me!
