Sweet Lies and Alibis

I kept drinking in the words from your lips Over and over again I kept taking sips Your utterances I gobbled up and ate every crumb The taste was so sweet I licked my fingers and thumb For your words I had a voracious appetite I was gluttonous for what you had to recite What you verbalized never satisfied my hunger and thirst To me it didn't matter if they had all been rehearsed I was unconcerned that what you spoke were alibis I couldn't get enough of your sweet little lies 6/24/2016 for Sweet Little Lies contest sponsored by Silent One
