The Lie

Poetry by Mesaye

By Mesaye Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Got me in a place where I can’t even feel

Tear-soaked apologies, oh now you wanna keep it real

I asked for your honesty, here you go

“It’s not like I wanna be out here misusing & abusing the field!”

Now you’re shouting in that tone def squeal

Which makes my mind go still

Feeling the vibrations of yet another lie

Stroking my mental sword closely as I sigh

Watching your ego fly

Soaring to a new height let’s see how high

It’s becoming easy to watch you fall

And taking on this “sorry” persona, well that’s your call

Patiently waiting my patience has faded

The primal warrior within begins to ascend

The drums are in sync with my wavering heartbeat

Your posturing stance doesn’t even stand a chance

Against my armored mental

Debating me will leave your chin full of regrets and misbegets

My mental sword in full swing; clink, clink, swoosh, swing

The waving of a white flag won’t save a thing

That’s it, it’s finished, I’m done

Not even gonna try to say goodbye

Because I knew the day you walked into my space

You were the lie.

From the moment I read my first Edgar Allen Poe story when I was 12 yrs old, I knew what made my heart flutter & what drove my imagination. Writing has been something I’ve loved doing, fell far away from & am now drawn back to it!
