Lies

by Kirsty Michelle Drummond

Standing there in the darkness of the night.
Nothing to do and not a word said.
You try to think of where you went wrong.
But nothing comes to mind

Everyone has been giving you these lies
and you accept them as if they are the truth.
You tell them your darkest secrets
thinking you can trust them and they won't tell
but realistically you can't even trust yourself

Everyone hurt you but you can't stay away now
you're addicted to the pain
it'll get better is what they say
when you damn well know it's here to stay
