Lies Poem by Sandra Black

Lies
Lies
Lies
And then some more true lies
Is there no end to my silent cries?
He smothers me silly
With kisses one night
Then the next he is so uptight

When she returns
He rushes to her side
Let it be day
Or the middle of the night
Why do I nurse my silly crush

She must be richer
She must smart
She must be cunning
A secret superstar
I just gaze dejected from afar

If he doesn't love me
Away I must rush
Away from pricking my heart
A slow harakiri of mush
Tearing it in bits part by part

Deeply enconsed
Is the poison stake
A bitter sweet pill
I had avoided to take
Now I know I must surely die

Remove it forthwith and show
Or let it spread within nice and slow
The little mermaid is testimony
Live was fun before the sweet honey
Then a slow death as you watch him go

A year gone by
And I still don't know
How I fare at his door
The wind blows cold
And hot the next

With him I am always
Answering a test
Tis used to be pure fun
Now I live a life of a nun
Burning my boats one by one

There is no return
I stand facing the Sun
The Moon eclipses me somehow
I fade before it's supposed show
If only true love could glow

But I am burdened
All through the night
By his true lies
My heart once said it is all true
Now my fate I begin to rue

Lies
Lies
Lies
