Little Lie

Your lie strikes me across the face
Just like my daddy used to do.
It's useless, really
Because I already knew.
The truth was not hard to find,
I have connections, you see.
There was no point in lying to me.

To bring my hopes afloat
Like a buoy in the sea of thought
Was a very cruel act indeed.
If fact, it just pushed you away from me.

Interesting write as always, full of emotion with palpable angst. well done.
one note, not sure if it is a typo or if i just did not understand your meaning but..

It's unless easy... not sure what you meant by this, but otherwise a fine read

'Twas a typo, thank you so much for pointing that out. Somehow I split useless into unless and easy. Thank you for your kind words.
