When Is a Lie?

What is a lie, a mask, a disguise A different direction in the blink of an eye A welcome escape from the darkness that hangs, Like a cloud in the mind, a wolves sharpened fangs A moment forever etched in the air A dove with wings clipped, free to explore A lovers last words lost in the wind A perfect guitar with one broken string A thinly veiled blanket in front of a bull A pathetic example of fool playing fool A weakness of structure, A new source of strength A pulling together, while held at arms length A desperate utterance, A moment of despair An acceptance A pleading A hope of repair What is a lie, Love or abuse Can a lie go on lying Without becoming the truth
