Living a Lie

He says " I love you"...
     I answer back the same.

He says " Your so beautiful"...
     I just turn away.

He says " I'm so glad we're together"...
     I know it's a lie.

He says " There is no one else for me"...
     I wonder why he never touches me anymore.

He says " It's no one" when his phone frequently rings.
     I wonder why he makes up so many silly excuses?

He says " There's no one I want except you"...
     I know a fifteen minute trip to the store shouldn't take an hour and a half...

He says " I love to hold you"...
     I can't understand why he moves away in bed if I touch him.

He says " I love spending time with you"...
     I wonder why he is always either on his computer...
          or watching tv for hours on end.

He tells me nothing is wrong...
     but in my heart...I know it's a lie...
          That's why I'm so empty inside.
