Little White Lie

................


She lied,
She did,
And she never knew.
How blind I was,
Without a clue.
She lied,
She did,
Right to my face.
A clever lie,
With perfect grace.
And I, with a vacant
Empty stare,
Saw only what
I wanted
There.
She told me things
To still my heart,
Words I'm sure she's
Lied before.
She spoke her lines
And played her part.
She spoke her mind
And nothing more.
She lied the way
They always lie,
Just before
They say goodbye.

Poet's Notes about The Poem

'It is easier to believe a lie that
one has heard a thousand times
than to believe a fact that no one
has heard before.'
