🪵 Tell All The Truth But Tell It Slant 🪵

truth's is a wild woman,
teeth capped, breasts showing,
well mannered
a beautiful thing, that sits up straight quite pretty.
you give her food,
She looks at me deeply.
so I build her, her own room,
the priest called it kindness,
I paint it bright colors:
such a lie is easier to swallow.
if her bed smells like a bouquet of blooming roses.
