A Lie
The promise of pleasure pierced through
Crimson veins and cerulean arteries
Breathing light into my thoughts, my mind
Naked as the hope that soothed my soul
Winding its way through broken promises
That filled me up with the kindness of lies who
Ventured to defeat my deafening roar
Of heartbreak felt when I knew in my core
That he had left me here alone, lonely
Without hesitation – with humiliation
Dreaded shame to saturate my pores
And remind me that I once knew his love
Breaking apart my honesty, my thirst
For a drink of compassion that would soothe
Tempting me to listen to his dishonesty
With the voice of courage bound in hope
Who knows that the prospects for truth
Are almost nonexistent yet pleading with
The mind to listen, to listen, to listen…
Will he be able to make me believe a lie?
Will he come back to me on the air of compromise?
Will he love me enough to stop the goodbye?
A tear sparkles in my eye
