Beautiful Lies

how many times do we say I love you when it's a lie I'm fine when you want to cry I'll live when inside you die I won't give up when you don't want to try I'll miss you when it's easy to say goodbye I love you when it's really a lie how many times tell me how many times

Adam, to quote Don McLean, "something touched me deep inside" when I read this poem. Carolyn

Loved the power of this poem and the impact of its read, i can really picture in my head my mom asking me that question when i would brake something and will times will i brake things in the house, though yours is about love it seems. enjoyed reading it.

Clever rhyming... stark opposites, highlighting the complexity of emotions either true or false. Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith
