Lying Lines

Poetry Speaks

Line by line, I lie. Love these words, like silver to the tongue. Feel your breath get deep, your heart skips a beat. I pray to god, I bite my tongue, I smile, I die. A mask hides whats beneath, yet my voice hums. Hand by hand as we see eye to eye. Phrases spoken, words are broken and line by line, I lie. Search for your answer, look in between the cracks. My spoken phrases, broken words, and lie by lie, I write a line. How can I have the world, yet say i'm giving more. Live with a snake, risk being bit. Award the winner, never praise defeat. A world of freedom, so free it's sick. Deception wins, performed without flaw, a magicians trick. Lie by lie, I write a line. I need not be wrong, because I believe i'm right. Let's win it all, let's lie while hand by hand. Winning is someone else's loss, did you forget that in life? I need to not justify, but hide my feet. I will be loved by most, own what I want, see what I believe... and yet Line by line, I lied.

Line by line and day by day I lived with a person who lived like this. I can't decide if I am sick or fascinated, so I guess the poem had its desired effect. Perfectly loathsome character you have painted here.

I was just about to say "I like it" but it does not allow me to say just that so here I am writing more. I really like it. :-)
