Raul Moreno Poet Free verse

Honest Lie

Your beautiful unfaithful lips once,
Brushed against mine planting dishonest kisses.
Your voice of treason spoke,
With a falseness in its tone.

Raising my inner suspicions,
Alerting my heart of duplicity.
I pondered the frequent question,
Why were you selling out our dreams?

Your disloyalty flickered,
Like a candle in the dark.
I have a feeling you won’t be returning,
So please give me one more honest lie,
And say you will...to keep me sane.

Carrie Richards February 8, 2010 at 8:06 AM Such a sad, yet heartfilled poem of betrayal, and distrust in one once loved. (I hope this isn't your own experience, my friend). Perhaps this is for the contest... What a wonderful entry, with this heartbreaking theme. My best wishes. Love, Carrie
