A Man Called LiesA Poem by Alani People can make empty promises... She’s just a little angel…
everyone adores her She paints a smiling face,
and makes the world crumble Going through life on a
unicorn, she wears strings of pearls Her hair… waves of curls.
One day, a crow came down and
picked out her eyes. Who was there to save her, a
man called lies He found her on the pavement,
lying face down. Swindling arms around her, he
promised new life
She’s never known anything more than lies… he takes care of her, by giving her his eyes. She’s never seen the world this way… afraid to go out, into the open again
It took her a while to get
over the pain… Afraid the crow might come
back again. The fear it inflicted had
caused her to hide… Return of the man.. oh, the
man called lies
She’s never known anything more than lies… he takes care of her, by giving her his eyes. She’s never seen the world this way… afraid to go out, into the open again
He promised to piece her
together... He promised to give her new
sight Oh the man called lies... One day a crow came down and
picked out her eyes Who was there to save her? A
man called lies Ironic don’t you think, that
he’d be there in a blink? © 2014 AlaniReviews
