Meenakshi Raina Poet Quatern

The Truth Stood Downcast In the Lie

The truth stood downcast in the lie
   I trusted your words don't know why, 
      Your intensions were hard to find
         I wish I could have read your mind.

You broke my heart left me to sigh
   The truth stood downcast in the lie,
      When truth is lost, trust is lost too
         Why couldn't I stop believing you.

I believed promises you made
   With passing time they all did fade,
      The truth stood downcast in the lie
         With wings of falsehood you did fly.

Your love was not true but false myth
   Innocent eyes did hide the truth,
      Still can't imagine last goodbye
         The truth stood downcast in the lie.
