115 words, so not a drabble but I tried my best.

I read these words... somewhere

'Lie to me

I promise I'll believe'

And this came from that. The words are (I think) from Sheryl Crow - Strong enough. Least, that's what Google says.

MP SLASH again. I love it. Don't own anything though.


Lie to me

Tell me you love me

Tell me you love me, Merry.

I don't mind that it's not true.

I don't mind hearing about lasses talking about you.

I don't mind staring at the celing at night, wondering where you are, who you're with, what you're doing.

When you know that I'm here. Willing. Waiting.

Tell me you love me, Merry.

I don't mind that it's not true.

Not when, on those few nights when you come just to sleep beside me, when you let me crawl into your arms and mumble those treasured words to me, I can believe that it is true. That you do love me.

Tell me you love me, Merry.

I don't mind pretending.


This is one of my favourite fics. Even if I wrote it: )

Reviews please, they seemed to have stopped coming : p
