A Little Bit of a Lie
It comes careening over the
Mind’s eye through the night’s dead, it stays
And you believe it…
You hold it close to your heart and never let go of it,
But that’s not the truth!
A little bit of a lie is what they told you!
But you believe it still,
You are not stupid though; lies are sweet enough, justly honeyed
To draggle you into their dregs deep__
And deeming such as truth,
When such is no truth__
For a little bit of a lie is what they told you!
It’s a beautiful lie they told you!
It shells without a shadow of a doubt what you should have but you do not know,
It coddles your soul and keep your spirit convoyed and tied in without a glitch,
But a lie is a lie though the truth lie too!
A beautiful lie is what they told you__
So pray that wholly truthful truth does not leak out,
For it will rip open your heart to see?
That a little bit of a lie is what they told you!
