LIES

This is a dark poem. Very dark...

I looked up at the sky on the day I heard you call

 

You know I'd learn to fly, but it's

 

   just too far to fall

 

And I'm afraid of what I'll find if I look into your eyes -

 

Perhaps it's only me, but all

 

   I can see are lies

 

 

Lies, lies

 

Are all that we have left to share

 

Lies, only lies

 

Are all that's left for us out there

 

 

Now the Autumn leaves are falling to the bitter ground

 

And yesterday is just an echo -

 

   a voice without a sound

 

And I'm still afraid of what I'll see if I look into your eyes -

 

I wonder if it's only me, but all

 

   I can see are lies

 

 

Lies, lies

 

Have built these walls that divide us

 

Lies, only lies

 

Are all that walk beside us.
