Love is a lie that keeps us alive
Take a deep breath,
Come swim, take a dive.
Drown in the depths of a coital embrace
Cater to the waves
While you forget your own face.
Pretend it uplifts,
That your love truly inspires,
All the while managing a million small fires.
Paint on that smile,
Put on that mask,
Praying that no one,
someone,
anyone,
will ask....
Love is the lie that keeps us alive
Its the match to our flame
It’s the blue to our sky
Love is the lie that we all have felt
Given and taken
From somebody else
Love is the lie that makes us believe
There is something in this world
Something bigger for me
What if the lie isn’t the love
What if it’s the people we know
The ones we belove?
Maybe we need the love to live
Maybe we need the people ...
Love is like a lie that keeps us alive. Like believing theirs a higher power out there that can hear our prayers and save us from this hopeless existence we live. Death will become of us all, death feels no bias or pity. It takes whom ever no matter the skin or religion or whatever. Death is the horrible truth and love is the sweetest of lies.
Something most of society ideally ignores or chooses ...

I love you more than above the world anything hopes and dreams where I believe that always be not interfere your mind I seen because I always thinking of him...
Love is the lie that keeps us alive.
It catches the string of our shirt
As we jump for the edge
Of the cliff.
As far as the string unravels,
As thin as it gets,
You will never crash
Into the torrent.
Foam will curl and
Spray; you’ll taste
The salt water stinging
Your eyes.
You may reach your
Hand towards the
Dark waters, beckoning you
With their mysterious
Depths, all to no avail.
Love will pull...
There’s a key created.
To kickstart the engine that is my heart.
Yet now I find myself.
Beneath a yellow hued stoplight in this midnight parking lot.
Patting my pockets, and my bag for it.
No familiar jingle is heard.
And now my body floods with nerves.
Will I be trapped?
In this field of tar and pale lemon lines.
To my saving.
A large shadow appears to be approaching.
Turning my head ov...
In this game of life, we play our part,
We paint a pretty picture, a work of art.
You're the storm, and I’m the sea,
You’re the hurricane inside of me.
With every tender word, you light a spark,
But in your silence, I'm left in the dark.
A flickering candle in a cavern vast,
Hoping to see beyond your mask.
You're the siren's call, I'm the sailor lost,
Drawn to the rocks, no matter the cost.
A d...
Love is the lie that keeps us alive
It gives us hope as we take the dive
Good at first and it seems forever
Until they say what they swore they’d never
Disgust and contempt finally reveal
They fester and grow until it’s all you feel
Everything shatters like it was made of glass
This feeling of “love” wasn’t made to last
In the end there’s nothing left to discuss
Hate is the truth that ends up b...
The sky is red, and the day ending,
Fading beautifully to an end,
As am I, fading slowly away.
Both of us ending, now, together,
The sun to be reborn as the same,
Me bar to grow the grass and the weeds,
Both entering a night, together,
But something else ended first, the lie,
The lie called love, our lie, me and him,
Both lying, both sustained by that lie,
Both terrified for the end of it,
The en...
