6.5.01 Leading a Lie By: anonymous

Holding this flower,
I tear it apart,
I wish I could ask you,
But I don't have the heart,
Does he love me or does he not?
You said it once but you surely forgot.
I always loved you and yes it was true,
I always meant the words, "I love you."
But how could you hurt me,
How could you lie?
How could you kiss me?
And then let me cry?
How could you hold me?
So gentle and tight.
And how could you walk away?
Fading into the night.

Holding this stem,
I throw it away,
I can't believe you don't mean them,
The things that you say.
The answer was clear,
You used me and lied.
You kissed me and left me,
Didn't care if I died.
So how could you do it?
How can this be?
How could you lead such a lie?
How could you hurt me?

I would still forgive you,
For I never let go,
I wish I didn't love you,
But the truth still shows.
And it all boils down,
To what you did then.
Kissing me as a lover,
But treating me as a friend.
So you didn't like me,
Like I liked you,
So why did you have to act,
As if you wanted it too.
