Lies

Cassandra Garland

He said he loved me
Like it was something easy
But the truth behind it wasn't there
His lips had spoken lies
But his eyes held the truth

I now am alone
Wondering how or why
I wasted my time with him
This person who was
Nothing but lies

The truth was never there
From the start of things
So why did I say it back
Maybe in hopes that his
Lies would become truths
