The Lie of Forgiveness
Betrayal is strange— once you’ve done it, you kneel for forgiveness as if asking someone to betray themselves for your sake. You want their mercy, but mercy means bending a rule they never thought they’d break. And forgiveness? It’s a well-dressed lie. A theater of healing played in cracked mirrors. You think once the word is spoken, the weight dissolves, that time rewinds. But we both know— it doesn’t. Even the forgiver feels the shadow. We...

The lie you promised
The promise of a new world Lies they tell to keep us in line Easy to control when you abuse people's hope Easy to smile when you have no soul A change in name Is not a change in game Incarceration didn't just happen in a day It was just an evolution of slavery From the scorching hot days on the...

Perfection is a lie told by the white man
Perfection is a lie told by the white man They say 'the fairer, the better' But with ego comes the self proclaimed Perfection Where what they say goes Where objectivity is something they claimed to own However it just goes to show pride will be their downfall Distracted by vanity and ego And their self distorted reflection They painted in the...

THE LIE
Tell me your secrets, I’ll tell you mine. Don’t tell me lies, We’ll get along fine. The past is behind us, The present is now. That we can be friends Is amusing somehow. So tell her your secret And tell her your lie. What she doesn’t know Is the road to goodbye. ...

A Beautiful Lie
She met him one October day, When autumn winds had lost their way. Leaves whispered secrets down the street, And fate, unasked, had planned their meet. He smiled the way the sun might rise On empty fields and hollow skies. He spoke like pages dipped in gold, Of futures warm, of hands to hold. She, fragile as a half-healed scar, Believed his voice, his...

I Lie
What the hell is going on? Do I know? Hell no, I don’t. I don’t care either. I lie. I do care. I care very much. I think perhaps I care too much. It hurts. But isn’t it impossible, Impossible to care too much? Is it? I know It is possible to care too little. Perhaps not care at all. I’ve felt that. I’ve been there. No one cared. No one. Not even me. But caring...

A beautiful lie
I wonder how it truly feels to be loved. Is it like the minutes before the sun rises, when it begins to shine so bright, and you feel its warmth on your skin Like moments you miss the most, filled with the nostalgia of what once had been. Like a scent of flowers leaving its own light, longing...

A little lie, like a thin veil covering the truth in the night of crystal, A little candor, like a moonbeam gently piercing the darkness, Forgetfulness does not weep, for tears have dried on the cheeks of lost memories, Folly doesn't hurt, for it remains like a shadow silently slipping through time. So many falls into temptation happen, like...

Eyes, Chico, never lie, but sometimes I wish they could weave stories, In the depths of your eyes, where love once danced like a shining star, Now there's only a pale shadow, a name carved in the sand of time, Your eyes no longer sparkle, I see the hidden storms, Contempt and confusion, wounds hidden like treasures in the...

Not A Lie
You have no sense This is all just a lie That's not how it happened Tell the truth, don't tell a lie Jesus entered the upper room He addressed the men with a smile The apostles all in disbelief Look! He's been through such grief No longer a smile... Peter said I'll walk in Your shoes a while...
