Your eyes tell tales
Of care and warmth
And kindness and love
But stand too close
And your eyes light fires
Of pain and hurt
And deceit and lies
Tag lies
Why Do People Lie?
Why do people lie?
Is it because they do not like the truth
Is it because they do not like the question
Is it because they do not like the answer
Is it because it is simply easier to explain
Is it because there is a fear of being judged
Is it because they are afraid of what might be
Is it because they are scared to tell the truth
Is it because it feels the safer option
Tell me, why did you lie to me?
Venom
Your words wrap around my heart
As your promises haunt my mind
Your deceit hangs like smoky air
Polluting my life with poisonous lies
Haiku – White Lies
White Lies form a light
So bright that honesty has
No room to shine through
