The Truth Was Embedded In Our Lies.

by Stephanie   Mar 8, 2008


I can't walk these empty halls without hearing those words slip past your quivering lips;
Along with a bunch of insincere apologies, which I'm almost positive I've heard before.
But that's okay.
One more lie can't hurt, so we can just toss it into the fire along with everything else that's beautiful.
I need a band-aid or two, hell maybe three or four, because there's a feeling that old wounds are being rehashed. And I don't like it. Not at all.
Your feet keep walking all over me, but that's okay because I suspect that I'm doing the same.
And I won't lie: there's so much blame but I'll admit that I feel the slightest bit better when I place it all on you.

You've twisted my words just like you twisted this world -
and I'm still standing here as a chaotic mess wondering what I'm looking for.
Because it's not you. It never was.
You were just a misleading truth that took too much trouble in dragging me down from my cloud.
When I was capable of surviving on my own. I swear.
And some may look at this as another poem to add to list, with a bunch of jumbled words and hidden meanings...
But the truth is: I don't need you. I never did.

    Oh my that last line hit me like BANG. I believe it was a perfect way to end your amazingly wonderful poem. Starting off with the title ... I was hooked. It captured my attention and urged me to read more and oh boy I was not disappointed ... this poem was so heartbreakingly sad yet filled with such courage ... oh I loved it!.

    I love your beginning line because it puts me in a setting I'm familar with and you descibe it all so clearly its beautiful to imagine. I loved the band-aid part where you go " I need one no two no three..." I think that was brillant and I've never seen it done before which made it even more amazing.

    The beginning line to your second stanza was flawless. I loved your word choice because it fit the mood perfectly and made eveerything flow flawlesly. I loved your use of "chaotic mess" Amazing combination of words that blew me away.

    Again I just loved your last line. Flawless piece of poetry my dear. A well deserved *5/5*

    "And I won't lie: there's so much blame but I'll admit that I feel the slightest bit better when I place it all on you." Lovely, truly truly lovely!
    "You were just a misleading truth that took too much trouble in dragging me down from my cloud.
    When I was capable of surviving on my own. I swear." Hopeful and pleading it sounded.
    Very well put together! Good job!!! Great read! 5/5
