The Lie--Carissa

The Lie

It cannot be true,
It must be a lie.

I must, of course,
Have read it wrong.

The way he sighed,
The way he looked

Cannot mean a thing,
They have a simple answer.

It cannot be true,
It must be a lie.

I won't lead myself to believe it,
I just have to breathe.

It has to be something else,
A simple, simple truth.

He won’t leave,
Like the rest.

I will surely die
If it’s not a lie.

My heart would explode,
I would die.

My eyes would dry up,
I would die.

I would cease to be, and
I would die.

It cannot be true,
It must be a lie.
