Lie

by Riskie Laras Titie

 

When I see you

My heart feels blue

Try to hate you

But you’re like a glue

 

Shining like the stars

Your smile gave me scars

Your mouth like a gun

Shoot me, and I can’t run

 

Told you about anything

You throw me like a nothing

Make me fly to the sky

But everything was a lie

 

The world was crying

Since you were leaving

Now, I still hoping

For my happy ending
