Despite My Lies

When I said I loved you,
I tried
To lie,
To make it a lie.
Maybe you saw me for who I was, and found me despite my lies.
I told myself I felt nothing.
I lied.

When I said I'd never had the wand,
I lied
To try
To save you from him.
Maybe he saw me for what I was, and found you despite my lies.
I told him I knew nothing.
I tried.
