Liar. Poem by Courtney Harris

Start counting the seconds;
count each and every day
that turns into years
as time flies away.
Stop burning these bridges,
instead go jump off them.
It’s just one more lie.
Look how she doesn't even try,
doesn't even stop to think.
Watch your heart sink.
Just hold your breath
till your heart stops beating.
Like they say, till death
do us part.
Stop the begging and pleading.
Can you feel your heart
beat faster and faster?
You just can't seem to get past her.
It’s just me and you or you and I.
all we do is watch time fly by.
Together forever, I promise
and the word lingers.
Behind her back she crosses her fingers.
