About the Poem

This poem is about a relationship dwindling - with only one party noticing, yet being able to do nothing.

The poem also explores reality by showing the reader you can only help someone so much; the other person must respond in some way for the bond to work. All too often, the relationship fades and you are left with one person heartbroken and the other totally unaware.

I really relate to this poem because that is what I am living now with my relationship. I give my all and he only gives when he wants. I only ask for the truth from him but instead he continues to lie to me. I have known of the extra-cirricular activities for a long time now. But he will not admit that he does not love me like he use to. He keeps me here in neutral grounds where i dont know whether to go left or right. I want him to be honest and let me go if he does not care. I really love him but he is destroying my world. I cannot walk away because he has been my everything for most of the years we have been together. We have been thru it all nothing left out. I wish I knew what exactly to do. But I know there is another women in his life.

This poem is so very true and has so much meaning. It's like two people living together and trying to live a fairy tale that will never come true. Living a lie is the saddest thing in the world but many people do it.

The Lie

Woke up this morning
Trying hard to hide my melancholy
I joined you for breakfast
And we continued our lie

Every day it is similar
You are cheery
And so am I
Our terrible lie

Can you imagine a time
When we awoke and did not speak
Realizing our moods would cause tension
Tension caused by too little life?

I do wish sometimes
As I leave for work sullenly
Dreading the day already
Weeping far within

The lie, terrible and unending
Would cease to be
And I would know the real you
And you the real me

But, the lie drags on for now
For it is not written in the stars
And perhaps it will never be
I am my own companion

The dreaded truth
Gathered in a lifetime
Sentenced for an eternity
Realized too late

I believe it's sad. It's about a lie in a couple relationship and it has never been forgiven. Although it's not there any longer, it keeps draging throuth everyday of their lifes. It' sad, but beautiful at the same time.
tina
I loved it. WOW, so sad yet so true. That is the story when love just fades away.

It touches me. It catches my attention. It hurts. I do not know why we have to lie. I do not know why they have to lie to us. But one thing I realized. I live, therefore I lie. Lie is not bad. But knowing what's lie ahead is bad. because it hurts. I would like to thank you for making this poem. I sent this poem to my ex-lover. I know this will strike him straight to his heart. Thanks
