Cruel and Usual Punishment

A tired Liar rests uneasily
Upon Pillows of the Past
His heavy head, it sleeps in Dread-
Always dreams of Truth, alas!

*"Usual" is intentional in the title ;)

I appreciate the read and response, Barbara. I like to say as much as I can with as few lines as possible. Give me quality over quantity any day lol. Thanks again! :)
