A soul that genuinely loves never would have been deceived! Bill, you've expressed it perfectly. The impression is founded on the basis of untruth.

I know from experience. It doesn't have to be intentional to be a lie. Have a great week Kim, Bill

Yes, that is true. They say that loving someone means you never have to say I'm sorry so if you lie you would have to say I'm sorry if you wanted to stay around so maybe they don't really love the person to whom they are lying. I enjoyed reading your work. I am glad that I chose this one to read today. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Thanks for your comments, Sara. I'm trying to get back to my normal presence here at poetry soup. It's been hard lately to find time and I'm really missing the interaction with my ps friends. I'll visit soon. Bill

A heart that loves truly, would never lie! So beautifully said. God, who is the source of love, may bless you, dear Bill!

Thank you for the wise comment my friend. We wonder why so many broken relationships. It may be because so many relationships are built on misconception of love, and not based on Love. Lust is the great deceiver, especially when young and naive. May God give you peace and comfort, Bill

Well said, Bill, and accurate. Deception is the bedrock of the illusion; being deceived or lied to rocks a person to the core. Sensitive and succinct poem

Thanks, Vijay. I've found realizing I've lied to myself is the most painful as I try to transcend my immature behavior of my youth. Have a great day my friend, Bill

Love comes apart so easily if its been held together by lies and yes..it will hurt..and slowly. So much food for thought Bill. Nice one. Cheers - Gary

Thanks, Alexis. I found over the years that I have lied to myself more than everyone else combined. It's the worst kind of lie, it hurts others and me. Ouch! Have a nice evening my friend, Bill
