The Lie of Us

By Rei Marsh

We were happy once First love, first chances Broken chances Then broken hearts Why the fuck we couldn't figure out what we wanted Only the gods know that I wish I did Then we decided we still wanted each other You were taken I was taken It wasn't meant to be Why didn't I see that? I lived a lie for you these past few months You were unhappy I thought that would make it better I was wrong Why the hell do you desire me when you're taken? Maybe because you won't have to have me then I can only guess This pain is punishment for the lies I spilled to you But nothing matter anymore You burn yourself to escape the shit I put you through Feels good, doesn't it? As if I'm destroying you with my own bare hands Would you like it that way love? I won't I don't It kills me how I hurt you But I'm sick of feeling do fucking guilty And carrying on the lie so aptly named Us
