Lies

It starts with little white lies Ever hungry, deception feeds on itself A monster with a grip that won’t let go Webs become impossible to untangle Words that never see the light of truth Bound with the silken thread of deceit

I love the message! Sometimes all of our little white lies seem to grow into a "web" that we can never untangle. I can very much relate :) Keep writing your wonderful poems, and i will always read :) Yours Truely, ~Catherine
