Lie Poem by Tina MacAdam

countless years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, wasted on a lie
a lie that consumed everything in its path with no remorse, no emotion
the things that remain are meaningless and empty, broken and lost
there is nothing beautiful, nothing amazing, nothing worthwhile
a lie that controlled everything, hid everything, destroyed everything
the things lost, will never return, they will never be the same
the once beautiful and amazing things fade into the shadows, forgotten
ashamed, afraid, hidden from everyone, fading into the background
a life, love, forgiveness, and everything else, consumed and destroyed by a lie
