Turning Lies

Twisting chosen truths around our hearts we bind. Trials break facades showing what’s behind professions under past skies. Pulled triggers, it dies. Bleeding our LIES. Will devour and drink the proud cries. Confessions under new skies. Learning from growing pains to rewind. Twisting chosen truths around our hearts we bind.

You're welcome. The first time they came head on, unmasked and playing no games. The second time, they were covert, wrapped in a present. I will email you the details.

Rob, you did a pretty good job with my form. I like your name Focal too. This was lower because you had ten syllables instead of nine in your second line. oh my gosh, I just went and checked "trials" with soup's counter and it says only one syllable. Soup is wrong, rob. if you are using Soup's counter, don't use it any more! use better ones online. Anyway, Congrats and thanks for trying my form.

I didn't check 'trials' anywhere, but I just did. English can be such a PITA. Thanks for including it in the list, but in the future, feel free to eliminate any poem I submit that has errors. Thank you for hosting.

This is a fantastic write. Hard hitting...but sometimes that is needed. Like the name you suggested, Rob. Good luck in the contest.
