These Are The Lies

These are the lies that I told...



When I said that I was fine,

I needed your help.



When I told you that I didn't care,

It meant the world to me.



When I said that it didn't hurt,

The pain was unbearable.



When I told you that I didn't love you,

My heart burned as punishment.



When I said I wouldn't cry,

The tears refused to stop.



When I told you I was strong,

I couldn't help but let myself shatter.



These are the lies that I told...

There are plenty more.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I always tell people that I'm okay when I'm not... I just don't feel like explaining things all the time. Sometimes, it just makes things worse.

It's a short piece, but it's good. Lies... people keep trying to convince themselves lies will solve things, but they just come around to haunt you in the end. I think we both remember a good example of this, but I don't care for names as much as I care for people. I hope you feel comfortable enough with me to stop the lies, to open up.
Much Love,
