Christine Saputo Poet Couplet

Sweet Lies and Alibis

I kept drinking in the words from your lips 
Over and over again I kept taking sips 

Your utterances I gobbled up and ate every crumb
The taste was so sweet I licked my fingers and thumb 

For your words I had a voracious appetite 
I was gluttonous for what you had to recite 

What you verbalized never satisfied my hunger and thirst 
To me it didn't matter if they had all been rehearsed 

I was unconcerned that what you spoke were alibis 
I couldn't get enough of your sweet little lies
