Bad Liar

I could say

 I've forgotten it all,
How the time has come 

and passed
And all is laid to rest 

and at peace
But, I'm a bad liar,

I could say how 

my love has faded
How the season of passion 

is dead
And the yearning in my heart 

is no longer for you
But, I'm a bad liar,

My confession could be that 

I never felt for you
It was all an act and a game 

to pass the time
That you weren't everything to me,
That you weren't time 

and space and my very breath,
But, I'm a bad liar,

I could tell you 

I didn't love you the most
That my desire bobbed and tossed 

like waves on the sea,
That my finest thoughts 

weren't of you
Like a tower of sand 

you wash away from me
But, I'm a bad liar,

For all my words 

cannot betray my heart
They would choke in my fingers 

before written,
All my thoughts shape you again 

and again
And I resign not to the sickness 

of denial,
But only the solemn truth,
That reality bursts from me 

like raging fire that cannot be shut up,

That I love you and ache for you 

in my bones,
I could tell you this 

may be better left unsaid
But, I'm a bad liar
