A Beautiful Lie

I long to return
To where we once were.
To the point where
I could hold you
And tell you everything would be alright.
To the point where
I had a shoulder to cry on.
To the point where
We trusted one another.
But I fear those nights are gone.
Those nights feeling your soft embrace
Those nights of knowing I’m loved
Those nights of feeling needed.
Were they only a lie?
Am I just a puppet that you used?
I don’t want to believe that.
I refuse to believe it.
You are the one I want,
I’ve never felt like this before.
What is this feeling that has taken over me?
Is this what love feels like?
Is this what it feels like to be loved?
This feeling is so new…
So energizing…
And now I think you want to take it away.
What did I do?
Tell me this isn’t the end,
Tell me we’ll make it through.
You may not need me,
But I need you more than ever now.
My life is crashing down around me,
And no one is there to break my fall.
Not even you…
I never lied when I told you
You mean the world to me.
Did you lie to me?
