Lie

USO by SID

Do you remember the scarlet sky we saw back then? We made a promise and a vow while the early summer wind circled us, as we clung close together. Your forced smile holds elongated shadows. I pretend not to notice and continue on. All the while waiting for you to deliver some news at the table.

Empty nights, mornings that will never arrive. I could see them from a mile away. You have forgotten that scarlet sky, we saw back then haven’t you? You broke our promise and we disappeared into the summer wind…and we can’t go back…

This room has lost half it’s sound, color, and warmth…Today has also scattered…I’m shivering and tired, so I sleep.

“I decieved you so easily didn’t I? I hate lies…yet love them.” were your words. If we stay as we are, this pain will hurt us too much, that’s why we said goodbye.

“We’ll see each other again” we said as we waved at each other, but we won’t meet once again will we?

That final lie was such a tender lie…so I won’t forget it.

The scarlet sky we saw that day, I'm sure youll remember it one day. While holding the promise we couldnt keep, we take our first steps down our own path
