If The Sky Was Blue
by Larry Estep

If the sky was blue...
would you tell me its green?

If the world was round...
would you tell me its square?

How can you lie and expect me not to?
How can you try if you're not really true?

How can you trust if the trust is betrayed?
How can you smile if the smile is just fake?

Why do you not know how this makes me feel?
Making me wonder what's even real.

Knowing the love is here every day.
Hurting my heart with everything you say.

Doubt and deceit fills my mind and my heart.
Every lie like a board being hit by a dart.

Thinking and trying...
Wondering what's next.

Wondering if I'll ever trust what you said.
Years of hurt bottled up in my past.
Truth and honesty is the only way to last.
