Sorry

This is about having a double life - friends who are good, and friends who you indulge with.

Remember that time
When I told you a lie?
Me neither

Actually,
I think I recall
You once told me you were bored
And I said I was driving around
Just to get out of the house
But I really went out
To get cigarettes
Sorry

Or how about when I told you
I went to a friend's house
And chilled in her basement.
Well, I went to her house
But only to pick her up.
Then we went out,
Met up with a guy -
Whoops, another lie -
And bought liquor instead
Sorry

And there was that time
When I said I went home.
Well I went to A home,
Just not mine.
I went to hers
And got f*****g fried,
Eyes red, sky high
Sorry

So in the life you know
I've never lied to you.
But in the life I keep a secret,
Well, you won't ever know.
Honestly.

I like this piece of work. I like it a lot. I really like how your somewhat telling the truth? Yet the truth is all the lies you've told? It helps the poems message get across, and makes it more appealing.

oh nice writing =]

Amusing poem. What I dig is the double-edge of compartmentalization being both satiric and pragmatic.

Also this poem triggers an interest in parallel worlds and those various selves.

O and besides the double-edge of compartmentalizing friends, there is also the useful reminder of necessary freedom of choice.

This is especially critical on the blade edge of youth.

This poem can only be described as superb. I love the musical nature of it. Thank you for writing it.

Boy isn't that the truth too often. Clever poem.

How intriguing! I liked the fact that you didn't fully disclose every single little detail about each situation, as it left the reader with a sense of mystery and the opportunity to kind of fill in the gaps. The idea behind this poem was unique, and there was a feeling of vulnerability as well as a kind of recklessness that I could really relate to. I found the last stanza a little confusing, but other than that, I really enjoyed reading this. Nice work,
