Haunted Memories

Lies and deceit
Words that break down
Life changing decisions 
Haunting daily life

Why the truth untold
For whose benefit?
Who decided?
But life continues
With memories haunting 
When sleep won’t come
And early rays of the sun appear
So the memories fade they say

More lies 
For one learns to live 
With these memories
Of lies and deceit
