Liar

Posted Apr 9, 2014 · 21 lines · 13 critiques

You aren't here
Strong arms to hold me
are absent.
So I wear your shirt
as my comfort.
I am not a part
of your world
though you are here in mine
your presence always
constant in my mind.
I like to say
I'm not waiting for you.
I like to say
I'm not hurting for you.

I like to say
I'm your friend and it's okay.
I'm a liar
in the worst way.
I am consumed by love
for only you.
