The Foul Stench Of Deception! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

Journey down a dark road
Lonely as the day is long
Shadows creeping up on you
Filled with past wrongs
A rainbow of excuses
Try to cover the lies
Sounds come from your mouth
While the truth hides in your eyes
Walk a little faster now
Time to run and hide
Lonely pain is hard to bear
No need to even try
Needle tracks up your arm
No signs of the pain ending
There's no chance in hell
Of your soul ever mending
But you try to help it
The heat runs in your veins
Still unable to escape
The neverending pain
Don't say you love me
I can't bear to hear such words
Dripping from your sweet lips
Like lies from a preacher's mouth
Don't try to hold my hand
I can't bear to feel the touch
of hands that promise safety
only to strike with a closed fist
Don't touch your lips to mine
I can't bear to taste you
Knowing the sweet love
is only a poison that kills
Don't smile at me with those eyes
I can't bear to look into them
Seeing the cold hard reality
That you have no love for me
Don't come so close to me
I can't bear the fake scent
that only covers the truth
the foul stench of deception.
