Lie to me

Lie to me

When I  call at midnight.Pick up.Tell me you were just  dreaming of  me.Tell me, you miss my voice.Tell me, I am the best thing that ever happened to you.Let me sleep with a heart ballooning with how lucky I am  to have you.Let your, ‘’you know I always come back home to you '',comfort me.Let me bask in the sun rays of your well thought out lies.Even if I catch you with her,deny it.Tell me,my eyes are  seeing  things that don’t exist.Say it over and over again till I hear it soo many times I start to believe you.Let me crave for the beauty of a dying marriage held in one beautiful lie.Teach her ,to always be your back up.To never burst my bubble.To be your alibi.Teach her to be content with being second best.After all,she enjoys you at your very  best , never sees you at your lowest point.When you have a child with her.Abandon them so softly it feels like you are coming right back.When she talks about child maintenance and all, threaten her.Tell her if ever your  wife finds out,she  will rot in jail.This is what it means to be a man.This is what it means to protect your family.This is what it means .Tell her ,If I catch you again,and by some courage she learns to find her tongue buried somewhere in her lust and tells of how you desired her,of how despite her shooing you off like a bastard dog,the one that holds its tail between its legs ,you will hang your head in shameful shame my heart will soften for you. After all ,your boys have already given you a name,they call you dawg, dont they.Tell her you know of ways you can soften me up.Tell her,your boys will laugh that you got caught.Tell her,all you will lose is their respect for not being able to keep things hidden from your wife. Lie to me.Protect the cracks in my swelling dam.I hold so much of you in my walls.You need me.I am your catchment area.Every secret that makes the very soul of you is within this big body you no longer desire to drink from.You now search for streams that momentarily quench your thirst.You have forgotten how hard it is to build a dam.You have forgotten what it means to walk  for days in search of life saving water so you take your greedy belly ,let it touch  places it was never meant to touch.Lie to me.Tell me you love me.Lie to me.Kill me with every lie.Lie to me.Sip my dignity.Sip my life.Sip every bone of health that holds my spine.Show me how one treats goodluck
