Lies

A one hundred syllable challenge. The poem had to start and end with the same word. Quite fun to create.

You.
In vain
I loved you.
Knowing you lie
habitually.
The truth will never come.
Not from someone who believes
the words he speaks are honestly
being told to someone so naïve.
I believed the lies, but not anymore.
I want honesty from my "true " friends.
Take your lies please and go away.
God reveals all things, it's true .
He revealed your lying
and now, we are through.
No more lying.
No more tears.
No more,
you.

I think Tina told Ike something like this. Your voice is the power behind this poignant piece and you got me all hyped up to give this form a try. Nice write & way to flow it sista!

...perhaps within vein...one finds deceit spelled differently...and honest pen...in search of truth...renews the blood of ink spilled in vain.
well done Verdi...
