• Tell me I lie

    Speaking no truth to protect

    What isn’t there

    Dare me to say what isn’t true

    Hide the honest to defend

    A precious gift I never received

    What I could’ve sworn you gave me

    Turned to dust

    And the heart I had lent you did the same

    So we are equaled

    As your eyes widen in surprise

    What you’ve done for me

    I’ve done the same

    And the ashes of my love flew back to me

    But the dust of your gift melted to the floor

    And I looked up to see your saddened face

    And smiled my smile that I give everyone else

    Because your gift turned into something else

    Something worthless

    Just

    Like

    The one before you

    Just

    Like

    The one that may just come after you

    Turn to dust

    Turned to dust
