The Truth Stood Downcast In a Lie

The truth stood downcast in a lie, crestfallen, I wither in dust, I have drowned in rivers of dry, you have drowned in oceans of lust. Fading into ashes I burn, the truth stood downcast in a lie, prevarication tables turn, honesty that bleeds can’t comply. You seek forgiveness I deny, I will grant no absolution, the truth stood downcast in a lie, falsehood gives no resolution. My reasons are very simple, fabrications do multiply, your true heart became a swindle, the truth stood downcast in a lie. The Truth Stood Downcast In A Lie Contest Sponsor: John Lawless

Laura, the pivotal line, at least for me, is "You seek forgiveness I deny". Thanks for participating in the contest.

Great way to do the theme, Laura Loo. Thoughtful piece came to me and then I saw Ruben felt the same way. Also, that quote you showed us is so true!
