Lies

a poem by thenorm

 

The wisdom…

…well, we hear the

lies.

I love you;

Go Away.

Well, don't mind

Me; I'm leaving. And

Did you honestly

Think

You

Could stop my

Flight? Oh,

Come now, you

Knew the score.

I don't need you,

Don't worry. You're

Not that important

And I never need

To be near you again,

I lied. And I bit back

The silent slivers

Of my deepest desires.

And I held you close;

I pushed you away.

Well…you might've

Seen my soul.

Rejected me.

And I couldn't bear

The pain.

So I resisted,

Relented under

The Heat Of Pressure

And held fast

To The Naked Truth

And Killed You.

With Lies.
