Peter Hackwell Poet Free verse

You'Re Coming Home

I lied to you,
I can tell you now, 
Because I know you’ll understand.
I lied to you where you lay
And whilst I held your hand
I lied whilst I looked you in the eyes
And you put your trust in me
I betrayed that trust we so revered
Because I knew you’d soon be free.

Peter Hackwell February 18, 2019 at 5:42 AM Hi and thank you for your comment. I wondered if I conveyed this correctly, because it was about someone who actually didn't come home even though I was telling them they were. Is this how you read it? I'd appreciate your view.
