The shadows of deceitA Poem by erniejI have lingered in the shadows of deceit Where the bonds of love and kindness never meet I have tasted every tear ever cried In the face of honesty I have lied I have let love slowly fade away And arms stretched out in need I kept at bay Acts of kindness and forgiving I did deprecate Links to the past had sealed my fate And I have cried alone © 2017 erniej |
