Undying Love Poem by Robert Smith

i once knew love that wouldn't die
it lived and loved but lived a lie
to leave this love i had to try
i lied to love i know not why

i tried to love i tried to leave
the lie i told did she believe
to she an angel from above
i told a lie she gave her love

my own love grew to my surprise
blooming so amidst my lies
love flourished so i thought best
to keep truth closer to the vest

this hidden truth you may have guessed
did wrap itself around my chest
my heart it grew the truth grew tight
my conscience cost me sleep at night

once i started to relax
i woke to venomous attacks
the dancing truth it laughed with glee
her hateful rage poured over me

my flaccid words tried to explain
i never meant to cause her pain
Imploring her with tears i cried
that only for her love i lied

she left with all her love she gave
i mourned the love i could not save
this ghoul of love yet lives in death.
it grips my heart it chokes my breath

undying love beget from sin
lies rotting, putrid deep within
i lied to love deserve do i
to bear the love that will not die?
