you sold me forever and i bought it

chaotic and melancholic  
a reflection of what used to be  
take everything we once had  
hold it to your heart  
and never stop dwelling on it  
for every time i thought of you  
i’d hoped you’d try to find me  
but i wept alone in agony  
always and forever  
were my lies  
yet you forced me to speak them  
we’ll remain tied by an invisible string  
and we will speak;  
sometimes and briefly  
occasionally and barely  
but never always or forever;  
the lies i told  
you sold them to me  
 
-hope
