Presenting the latest poem from VALIDATION, life is lyrical irony:
–Read compulsive liar now, at Anvi’s Thoughts Caught–
Believe them, Believe me,
Believe that I used to think I could fly,
And now I’m falling down,
Yesterday was a mountain but from Today’s
vantage point it feels like a molehill
And the gravity’s too much, when you’re close enough to touch,
And I’m praying you can’t see what’s going on inside my head.
Because I see you, with me,
Because I see you, the way nobody ever saw me,
Because I see you, and every night you’re in my head,
Every time it feels like something different.
To me. But does it feel the same to you?
Or do you see me as someone out with just a vendetta to prove?
The allegations made against me were never true.
Because baby, how could I hate you, if I still love you?
And people have told me, that I’m at a crossroads.
Do I let it happen naturally and make him fall for me?
Or do I block him out of my life, and hopefully my heart?
Oh, now we’re just like the kids we really are, stumbling around in the dark.
Searching for serendipity, walking/wading through fields of anarchy.
And I’m not the type to take it lying down.
I’m not the type to make you fall so hard.
Because guys like you don’t like girls like me.
And even flight can’t help when we’re universes/worlds apart.
And it doesn’t make sense to me – why would you pretend?
Why would you lie and say the things only I know that you ever said?
But I was born of fire, and you reduced me to flame,
But you can bet that you weren’t the only one to blame.
The blame’s on me because I trusted you too many times with my sanity,
And now I’m standing here trying to take it all back for the sake of what was you and me.
The old you, The old me, And you can bet that I would have regretted it even way back then.
I would have regretted the choices I made. Regretted I didn’t say goodbye when,
You showed me who you really were, but I didn’t believe you, now I’m praying I’ll stop loving you.
I gave you one, two, three, four thousand chances, when I should have closed the door,
And gone back inside, with my dignity intact, instead of begging for more.
But that’s on me. For not seeing who you really were. A compulsive liar.
But now I’m ending the chapter. And I don’t really care that you made a mistake, that she was a trick, and the situation was too dire.
