yes, i want you to lie to me

say you don't feel it
say you're sure you
won't ever feel it again.

this holding on to hope
is breaking me. only time heals
it's true, but my time to heal
has been interrupted countless times
by a reincision from you.

you know my weaknesses. i've given you
the tools to exploit them. i asked a man
to translate it for me and he said
the same thing i thought. the pattern
has been established. it's going to continue
i can't break it. so you need to. lie to me.
and tell me goodbye.
