IsaWhiteOlleContemplative

We say we would do anything, yet when they ask we say no, And we don't even say it directly because we wouldn't bare the shame of this repeated lie, wouldn't admit that we'd just run and hide like cowards, choose us over them, and afterwards not even punish ourselfs with blame.

We say we would hold on to them until we'd witness our last dawn, yet when a charming opportunity crosses our way, we'd take it straight away, oh we wouldn't even turn and think. wouldn't stay long enough to try to explain, or to say sorry because apologizing didn't even came into our brains.

We say we love them, yet when a small argue irritates us, we'd think about lonelyness in a over-romanticized way, wouldn't talk, just endless staring silence full of hatred on the dining table, wouldn't forgive because after all we didnt start, we didn't outsmart because we can't control our feelings, like little 6 year olds that get mad over things they find unappealing.

We thought we were honest, kind and lovable, yet when we finally saw the truth, we'd just see it on others. And maybe they lied too, but what a gruesome place earth would be, if no one cared, if no one loved.
