Poem Artwork

I stood between two pillars

and watched a young man cry

“You are the only hope I have.

I love you now,” he lied.
His agony, his torture

tore my heart in two

he reached for help

he reasoned well

he lied again

 

I’m through

Interesting use of hope and dissappointment. Sometimes are hearts are so big the burden becomes too great and othetrs take advantage. All we can do is try.

A lie is a lie wherever we stand...

And once a person lies, they have to lie again to cover the original lie, and so it goes on..

Great poem that underlines the importance of being earnest and sincere..

Gotta love it! The poet described, in an exact manner, the plight of a would-be lover who knows not how to love. Hello over there in Lake Charles from Houma.
