We pass each other a tissue of lies <br />With which to dry reptilian tears <br /> <br />It seemed it was forever thus. <br /> <br />Then I caught that salty drop <br />welling from your greying eyes <br />Too late to stop, <br />with gilded truth or lies <br /> <br />How I wish 'twas never thus<br /><br />Sailing to windward<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0-passing-tissues/
