Bob Quigley Poet Free verse

The Lie

Such a little thing
Strung between two hearts
Concealed in silence
 
That which is unknown cannot hurt
Not both at least
Just one heart stricken

It will not stay silent
It will be heard  
Then two hearts broken

Scars heal
But never disappear
They just conceal the wound

John Smith January 8, 2012 at 11:22 AM Aptly writ. The sociopath has no scars; has no wounds. He just scars others. Bob Quigley January 8, 2012 at 2:09 PM So true John. Thanks for your comments
