The Truth of Lies

“The Truth of Lies” by: Eric L. Boddie I hope that you finally realize That there is only one thing I truly despise Which is the leading cause of most of our cries Which also sets me apart from other guys Who only want what is in between your thighs And to leave your heart feeling victimized But it should be evident through all my tries That my aim was to leave you neither shocked nor surprised To find that your heart had been burglarized For I entered your soul through the beauty in your eyes Not knowing you lacked the ability to compromise Or could it simply be that you are a master of disguise Searching for a way to bring about my demise Because in all of our discussions, I received no honest replies Only to uncover the heartache that the truth denies Even through the times you witnessed my nature rise Now do you understand what this really implies You touched me in my heart, where the greatest love lies But hid your true self from me so nothing great could arise When all you had to do was simply improvise Giving in to the moment instead of what honesty defies I chose the moment, you chose otherwise Maybe we should come together in an attempt to revise Our current situation so we can once again be on the rise Because the thought of you is the only constant when I fantasize And when you speak, don’t think that I don’t empathize But in the game of my life, you were drafted to be the franchise I wanted to be your big fish, but you made me one of the small fries And through deception, you darkened my blue skies I mean, what can you expect when the truth dies But a condition of the heart that will never revitalize Because nothing can sooth the pain created by lies

I enjoyed this deep emotional write. It's so devastating when you find out you gave 100% to a relationship that was built on lies. As always I am moved by your pen. :-) Alexis
