All a lie

I kept telling myself, that the look in those eyes was a lie, it was all a lie
I kept telling myself, the warmth in the embrace was a lie, it was all a lie 
I kept telling myself, the honesty in the voice was an act, another lie, it was all a lie 
But something inside me said, the ending of it all, that was a dream, a lie, that was the biggest lie 

The fairy-tale had ended, there was no happily ever after 
The credits had rolled and the show was over 
The hall was empty and all had left except me 
Who sat there in hopeless faith to see more in the darkness that hovered 

All alone but the shadow, all alone but my own voice 
Recalling and forgetting, selectively picking from the fragments of memories 
Betrayal and regrets forgotten, picking petals from thorns
But it was the first time i was experiencing, the petals hurting more, like they were nails of steel 

Betrayal hurts more than anything else, for it means you had trusted 
But then all wounds heal, and so will this soon be ended 

Scars be left behind, right at my feet 
For when i shall learn to walk again, it'll always hurt a little, 
to remind me good times ended, but i can still experience 
Can feel pain but also am capable of hope and numbness 

So i shall walk again, in the simple hope 
That whatever wrong happens will leave no more than a scar 
And that the episode will be no more than a bad dream, a lie, it'll all be a lie.
