The jokes and the lies

by Yakari Gabriel   Apr 19, 2014


I was not lying,
in the beginning nothing
was a joke, it became a joke
with time because in all honesty
I had to face the truth.
I would never have her,
and it was my way of coping with
it, humor has always been my
my way of coping with everything

her own fiance,
I'd tell him
"well, I'm preparing a squad
of people to come kidnap her
and we're going to sacrifice you
to the lord"

...and as much as i wanted it
to be true, it was what it was

it was a joke.

I would never hurt her,
I would never try and
steal anything that made
her smile far away from her

I would never
sacrifice her joy
just to have her near me

I am not selfish
that way

I wanted her yes,
but never more than
I wanted her to be happy.
