Adam Wheaton Poet Free verse

Beautiful Lies

how many times
do we say

I love you
when it's a lie

I'm fine
when you want to cry

I'll live
when inside you die

I won't give up
when you don't want to try

I'll miss you
when it's easy to say goodbye

I love you
when it's really a lie

how many times
tell me how many times

Derrick Burton January 6, 2009 at 8:52 AM Loved the power of this poem and the impact of its read, i can really picture in my head my mom asking me that question when i would brake something and will times will i brake things in the house, though yours is about love it seems. enjoyed reading it.
