Short Lyin Poems

She was called the Lyin’ Tamer.
Absurdity would enflame her.
	She could spot a line
	way back from foot nine.
She’d decline and who could blame her?...

I blinked
My eyes lying to each other
“did you…”
“no, don’t”
“yeah…but I”
“stop blinking and shut it”
“but that image”
“shake it off”
I blinked again
a tear in one eye.

Thank you 
for caring
for sharing
for daring
to confront my wary
with steadfastness scary
at first.  The blary
noise lyin' me squarely
in treacherous areas
is soothed by your clarity.

Preesh ya muchly

You fixin' to get CLIPPED (clueless beast!)
Or dismembered for a mutton feast
Make a break from your breeders
Don't follow lyin' leaders!
Or you gonna' get FLEECED (at the least!)

Givin' up hope on my Serenity Ryan
Givin' up hope on my Serenity Ryan

Hope and smilin'
Hope and smilin'

Givin' and cryin'
Livin' and lyin'

I hope your smilin'
I hope I'm dyin'

Too bad is feelin' just as well...

I found my life 
I found my meaning
But wear where you
Wear where you when i was lost?
Lost and insacure u left me 
Lyin on the floor
But now that i know
Know how my life is to be
And to see me and you where never ment to be
Lifts the pain off me 
letting me finaly breath....

You have accurately answered your own question at the end of your message; 
No,no, no,

"But keep on tryin'
"Cause I ain't lyin'
When I say you're the best
Solving this sort of test,
No need for cryin'
Or even sighin'
'Cause you are vyin'
For the undenyin'
Master of the Quiz,......

Your Two Cents Are Worthless 
Don't Make Sense 
Anything You Say Is Irrelevent
Talkin  For The Hell Of It 
Actin Brand New 
Ain't Got A Clue 
 Thought You Knew 
You Never Had A Chance 
No Matter The Circumstance
Nothin You Do Could Make Me  With You 
Wanna Get Pissed 
You Didn't Make The List
High Sidin 
 Lyin 
Left Him Holdin His Dick Cryin...

You are so shy
You know you're mine
Though you're swayin'
I know you're mine

I love your hide
your feeling is fine 
Your pride also shines
When lookin' at you, I wanna die

Lyin' beside you, you make me cry
Though death does us part
I know you're mine

The Lord God destines
You can't disguise
I know you're mine

I’m not lyin
Just denyin
You were here
Now you’re not

Gave me a kiss
Said I’d be missed
That was last week
I think you lied

Where did you go
I don’t know
Don’t answer my calls
Don’t answer my text

You said I was the one
Was it just for fun?
To get what you want
Leadin me along

Make it right
I don’t want a fight
Just tell me the truth
Have you moved on?...

roses are red
violets are blue
only if you knew how in love i am with you,
maybe youd love me back,
maybe love is something you lack 
youll lay in bed tonight with a face lit bright,
ill lay in bed with a new thin line on my arm, in red
trust me, you not knowing me is not why i do this
cutting is just my new found bliss.
if people knew, they'd call me crazy,
if people knew, they might care...

Dallas beckons yonder
Bright lights and cold beer
Cowboys always wander
To things that ain't here 

Dallas collects money
From those who can't spare
Tragic becomes funny
Just from bein' there

Romance seldom follows
Trips to our Big D
Female rarely swallows
Lines from guys like me 

Success follows tryin'
Mabel is her name
Confessed constant lyin'
Loves me just the same

the mention of your name
the whisper about you now all the time
your nasty dirty secrets out 
and if anyone asks, for you i aint lyin'

what you did. it hurt so much
you should feel like a jerk
so go get pushed by my new man
go eat some friggen' dirt

i wanna make love
you wanna make war
so i pushed you outta my life 
then i slammed he door

so go lie your lies
ill always tell the truth
what really happened between us
what really happened between me and you....
