Caught In A Lie?
Like a soldier under heavy fire.
I am fearing for my very life.
You have said that I am a liar.
I am only avoiding pain and strife.
Things have changed for you and me.
I am not the reason for it all.
Things are not the way they used to be.
If, only, you would answer my call.
Rumors have been spread.
There is no truth to them at all.
I was not caught in her bed.
I wasn’t even there at all.
I am true blue and fit to be tied.
There has to be a reason for this.
I am suffering because someone else lied.
I would like to beat them with my fist.
You should know I wouldn’t do this.
I have been with you for awhile now.
Have some faith in me, I wish.
I will prove it’s a lie somehow.
Then we can be as one again.
We can always trust one another.
Neither should ever make amends.
I love you. There is no other.
