Writings

i held you there
as you cried that day
tears flowing down
as you carefully chose which words to say

and not once
not even twice
did you choose to say

the truth

lied through your tears
as you kissed mine away
and before the night was done
you had taken my heart to another place

and not once
not even twice
did you choose to say

the truth

you fucked me hard
while those church bells rang
then you were outta town
before that last bell sang
and lafayette will never be the same
again

and not once
not even twice
did you choose to say

the truth

held behind your lips
the words you wouldn't say
as it seemed the truth
just got in your way

coz not once
not even twice
did you choose to say

the truth

so now, you sleep warmly
in your made up bed
and take to your slumber
the words you never said

because, not once
not even twice
do you choose to say

the truth
