Wish That Wasn'T a Lie

My naïve darling, don’t you honestly know the sheen of your skin shames satin your eyes limpid like those of a doe voice sweeter than the dulcet robin Could’ve been a bloated blatant lie but my heart knew he was loyal and kind If I was beautiful to his doting eye why on earth, would I complain or mind? Sweaty and confused, he woke me up that night held my hand as they pushed him into ICU "Be back before you know it, cheer up alright?" Demurred, but believed him like I always do. Oh!if only I'd smelled the bitter truth if to the last lie I refused to be sold lovingly lying lips I would've kissed once more before they went cold Written 06/25/2016 for contest "Sweet little lies"
