Unintended innuendo

Line of inquiry: “as we passed her she did wilt which caused in us sense of guilt since our stance perhaps did cause to put her heart’s joy on pause though we’re gentle, not hostile we diminished her soul’s smile since our aura as she viewed scent of love did not exude” - Unseeking Seeker Planting a seed of deceit to escape the blame, Even the blind could see the trick in that dance. Tangled deep in the web of truth-coloured falsehoods, Dodgy as a broken glass that reflects beauty. Only the trueness of its heart sees clear the truth~ Giving its forked tongue some time to rue its regret. Care nor love enough to make a pet dog a pet. Attention to fakeness won't turn it to truth. Nothing but pure honesty makes truth a belief~ That deceit has only a few nights of good rest, Before the truth shatters it into smithereens, Ensuring lies don’t last beyond dawn’s first crow. Only truth-coated innuendoes could fool so much, Unless the ears that hear are clogged with thick wax~ Rolling out deceit as though not meant to deceive; Pretending it wasn’t intended to sound absurd, Ensuring that its belief was clouded by lies, That made a lifeless toy believe it was a pet.
