I am lying through my teeth,

When I couldn't show you my heart.

I could only give you,

What you wanted me to give you.

I am tired of this overwhelming hurt,

How can I ever get over it?

I could only try to cry,

When the rain falls.

I can't remember,

All the times I was sad.

Because I wanted,

I wanted to forget.

Even the love given and taken,

Were out of selfishness.

There were no unconditional,

Only the transactions.

I need to love,

And be loved back in return,

To feel the flow of love that heals,

That refills.
