Broken Lies Poem by Katherine Graven

Expressing feelings through a closed off heart
Broken lies intended to tear worlds apart
True love was in the making of my own
Leaving me to live through my life all alone

Good intentions never meant to be honestly kept
For I was the only one who’s eyes ever wept
Reason for why the lies are still unknown
Leaving my Soul still waltzing to a melody long gone

Broken Lies whispered as you gaze into my tearful eyes
Not allowing me to hear your never-ending good bye
Complications were only your false excuses
With your broken lies being love’s tantalizing influences

My reality of life is of the walking dead
Feeling locked in a mist of seclusion in my head
Tears capped off within this bottomless pit
A fool drowning in worthlessness, here I sit

Living within a hallow shell of nothingness
Leaving me dying under the influence of helplessness
Time has taken precious time of ever finding true love
I only allowed you to leave me with nothing to grab hold of

My burning desire is now crushed into ashes in loves’ aftermath
Now I know Love was never intended to cross my destiny path
For my broken heart is tied and bounded behind a cold steal gate
Because of Broken Lies my heart did not know not to wait

Now I know my pathetic life must go on
And I refuse to live my life all alone
For my love for you was beyond measure
But
I be damn if I live with sexual pleasure
