Proof Unveiled

(*unveiled*)

       she said no....
staccato heartbeats
          tell otherwise



                                                (*proof*)

                                               never again---
                                                    toilet tank hides bottles
                                                              drowning resolve

There is no greater sadness than having a lover be a deceiver. Great work, Nikko. Good luck in the contest.

Quite a moving poem, Nikko. Deception can cause people a lot of pain and some do resort to "drowning" their sorrows. Best wishes for success in Chris's contest! Love, Carolyn
