House Of Lies

Starting from the end, lying to a friend
Falsehood in a sandwiched truth
walking haphazardly, straight to a bend
reaping nothing in my youth

A drunken saturday, i'm all blacked out
if I lied Again, I can't remember
There's no truth left, I just ran out
It's so unusual, A hot december

Goodbye forever, build me a stone house
forget all I said, but wonder a little
of what was and what could have
dance for forgiveness, miss me a little

buy me some time, spare me a minute
if I ever come back, take me with open arms
and when I speak please do not listen
my words are nothing but a house of lies

Author's Note

I wrote this a while ago: almost a year now...can't remember why and when exactly..Probably inspired by a story, a movie or the need to write a poem..Ps..I hate being Lied to!! but one of the best and worst feelings is being lied to and knowing so..The truth is always a safer bet! Honesty in many ways is strength..Share your thoughts

really poignant words... how quickly everything unravels when it is built on lies... but there is sincerity here too.. and honest words, dance for forgiveness, miss me a little... sounds beautiful, poetic, apologetic.. take me with open arms... like someone struggling with their own lies and wanting to be forgiven for the people they are going to hurt... great work.

The poem is amazing. I like the internal struggle. Hard to dig into your mind and heart. Face the truth. I like the honest feel in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Hmm........
Catchy title and a confusing theme. One would have to crack his top to crack this text.
Certainly containing cogent messages, I think this would easily pass for a rap.
