Between the Lines – Poetry

He says he loves me but my insecurities scream it’s all lies

My eyes are sucked dry by all the nights I cried

I’ve never had love like this so my heart is still half convinced that this man is another devil in disguise

Like the last guy…

He says he loves me but I still question the value of his words

I still search for the unheard

A heart once broken, pieced back together with the cheapest tape I could find

I truly love this guy

But I still wonder if it’s all lies

His reassurance is enough until I find myself stuck

Caught in the circle of thoughts rummaging through my mind

 

He shows he loves me

And yet I still try and read between the lines
