Lies for Lives

The soothing lies we sell 

Because the truth is too uncomfortable to tell

It's odd how we seem to convince ourselves it's all to avoid hurting the ones we love

It's funny how we think we know that love can be broken by truths and yet healed in lies


Lies are like cancer; they feed off you

Until it's just you in your cobweb of lies

And skeletons of the ones you'd loved,  around

Dead from the dearth of the truth, stinking of lies

Your lies

The Death of a Poet

It takes bullets to kill a boy and lies to kill a lover

It takes faith to kill a truth and reason to kill a religion


And yet, all it takes to kill a poet, is sprinkled words
