Next time --
Next time you need my help
To pull you out of a bad situation --
The bad decisions, a life of pain --
Just say so
Don't dress it up
Don't pretend to be interested when you're not
Don't create illusions of false feelings
Don't try to lead me on with insincere stories --
Beautiful words, written so perfectly,
So emptily --

Pretty lies
Wrapped around an ugly truth
Don't make anything easier
Don't help anyone
Because the lies, pretty as they may be
Are, in the end, even uglier
Than the ugliest of truths

And if you're even wondering,
Yes, I still love you
And I'd do it again
If that's what you need --
This is who you are
This is what you do
I'd be foolish to expect anything else from you
But I'd appreciate a little honesty
Next time --

I'd be foolish to expect anything else from you




we are all fools from time to time, no?

Yes. And some of us have gotten quite good at it.

This is fabulous, Lex.
Honestly.



it just so happens...i was working on
a complementary thought

Next time --
Feed me not, oh my love,
A diet of lies

Good one Lex sad but true that some will lead you to believe that they need you. But what they fail to reveal it is only until they get their thoughts together again...........

the stories you tell
the wants you need
are dressed to please
but just not me

great write by the way

Strong. Heartfelt. Great write from top to bottom.

What an amazing write Lex!
