The Truth About Lies

The truth about lies as we all know Is they take us to a place so low That place you hoped you'd never go Where what we become, we dare not show Where words are enemies unknown They kill with no intention shown Lies, bruise deeper than any stone Always, at our hearts directly thrown Trust becomes something that we fear When too close to believing we get near Lies like music, flow from mouth to ear But much easier to tell, than to hear Lies take our needing others away You find yourself questioning everything they say Afraid if you go down again, you'll stay The truth about lies, they cause life's decay ©Donna Jones

Such a clever title. And the line much easier to tell than to hear. Very inciteful. I'm glad you commented on my poem. It's nice to discover someone new.
