The lies we tell, <br />stories we sell <br />to keep this love alive. <br />Truth betrays <br />what we say <br />in order to survive. <br />What emotions shed <br />are easily misread <br />when blind eyes open. <br />How we pretend <br />time spent <br />keeps souls unbroken. <br />If I really love you, <br />as I say I do, <br />goodbye should be said. <br />But, no - I'll cajoul, <br />make you a fool, <br />anchor you here instead. <br /> <br />6/3/08 <br /> <br />*for my friend.<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lies-we-tell/
