Continued Lies

Not my best, but I was listening to how people cheat on each other all the time, it sickens me.... how can they do that when they know how much they're hurting someone?

They slip off your tongue

They roll into a sentence

They form 

They grow

They hurt

And you know it...

Yet you continue...

Your words become sentences forming stories and tales

Then they grow and more words follow

They get too big

You can't handle it

And you know it...

Yet you continue...

Soon the words are all real

They become alive

They serve they're purpose

Then they take a life of their own

You can't control it

And you know it...

Yet you continue....

Your in the clear

No damage done

Your safe

Your fine

But thats not true

And you know it

Yet you continue...

Then the words get out of hand

Forming something unexpected

You make more words but the words don't match

Your stuck

Your doomed

And you knew it...

Yet you continued...

You hurt me

You knew but didn't care who you hurt

You got what you wanted 

The words served their purpose

Those words were lies

And you knew it....

Yet you continued.....

This is really good, I really liked the way the poem was written and the way it flowed. But, I only liked the repeating "Yet you continue..." the first two times. After that it got to be too many too often. But other than that it was really good.

wow thats really good! the flow was nice too! oh but one thing to is spelled "too' which means also or very. you said in the third stanza "that they get to big." it should be too big. other than that i would say its perfect! well done at writing this! =)

I loved the message of the poem but I'm not sure if I liked the flow... Maybe I'd change the order of the blocks to create a small story (the story behind why you wrote that poem), just a thought :D

Thanks!

This is amazing. I love the "And you knew it ... Yet you continued ..."
I just keep reading it over and over.

this is an interesting poem. as i was reading i was trying to decide if i liked the repetitivelines, "and you knew it, yet you continued..." and i think i do. it adds a sense of anger or misunderstanding.

nice job.

[NoAirToBreatheXSuffocat..]

Great poem, it tells the actual truth of what sometimes goes on in the world. I like the reality in this, and that you wrote it very well, I like your repetition of 'yet you continue...' Great job! :)
