Truth Lies

by: Rosalie M. Belen

one. two. five. ten.

I am counting it over and over again.

if I'd never met you, I wouldn't feel the pain,

losing your sweet love, I wouldn't feel insane.

twenty. fifty. one hundred and two,

how many times you said you love me true?

then how can you explain this thing I'm going through?

deep down I knew I loved you, and somewhere you did too.

one thousand. six hundred and five.

how many times you stood there and lied?

you promise me that you'll stay by my side,

but now, how could I explain this pain that I choose to hide?

four billion. nine thousand, six hundred and ten.

how many chances I gave you again?

after all those years I can't relayed the past and the strain,

and still, my heart keeps reality from my brain.

eleven zillion. six billion. five million, and more

although it was not whole before.

a kind of pain that I can't take anymore,

now it can never be restored, and it is killing me to my core.
