Lies.

First draft:

Goodbye,

Is what you said.

Come back,

Is what I pray.

I won’t leave,

Was your promise.

Don’t lie to me,

Is what I asked.

But now you’re gone and I’m here.

Final draft:

I love you,

Is what you whispered.

Don’t lie to me,

Is what I asked.

I’ll never leave you,

Was your promise.

Goodbye,

Is what you said.

Please come back,

Is what I cried.

Silence,

Is what was left.

‘Cause now you’re gone and I’m still here.
