Gray Facade

Your lies made me doubt myself

they shouted as you whispered,

paraded in and out at night

hidden behind a gray ghostly facade,

in the light of day

the suit you wore still spoke

of black and white

love the paradox...the shouting and whispering juxtaposed...

there is so much gray area in life...yet some profess to be open minded and then really do see things only in black or white..no middle ground..
another good one with nice philosophy in the lines.

Much appreciate your kind words, coming from someone who's poetry I admire it means a lot.

"Your lies made me doubt myself

in the light of day"

A poem of great parallels - "Your lies... shouted as you whispered" - a person hiding who they really were. That last line says so much - we claim "right or wrong", but know that this is never so clear. Nicely done!

Thank you Rita, was not sure if that would communicate the message properly, appreciate your review.
