Coated Lips Of Deceit.

** I was just writing from the top of my head, so it doesn't really flow. **

And set upon my face of porcelain is a smile,
one that you thought you'd never see again.
But behind these coated lips of deceit,
is a secret you'll never know.
And although, i am dying to pour my shattered heart out to you,
I just don't think you would understand.
We seemed so perfect for each other, you and I.
Every piece of the puzzle fit together just right,
but there was always a part of me,
a side to me that never showed,
that no matter the love i knew i had for you,
I was still able to do what i did.
And my teen angst has extinguished the fire,
that i once saw lit with emotion in your deep blue eyes,
and my mistakes have stopped your beating heart,
that once pounded hard within your chest from just a look,
and my words have caused those tears,
that i thought would never be in fault of me,
to stream down your rosy red cheeks tonight.
And baby, i am sorry, but sorry doesn't seem to cut it anymore,
and how can i be sorry, when there is nothing to be sorry for?
Do onto others as they do onto you, and that is exactly what i did.
My heart has been broken, my soul has been shattered,
I have sinned and sinned again, forgiveness? No. That is not what i want.
What i want is for you to just tell me the truth,
I have done my share of waiting, i have been through enough.
So don't be fooled by my pretty smile,
because inside, i am falling to pieces.
