Lies

The thought of his eyes
use to make me blush and drip
but now the mere thought
of his eyes makes my skin crawl away
from this body broken

How do I stand strong
with lies pressing down on me
filling me will doubt

How do I move on
from trusting 200%
to questioning everything he says

What the f**k
am I supposed to do
when all I can do
is wonder if this
is another
Jedi
mind
trick

Author's Note

Lies hurt even little white lies

I have always believed you without question or a single little doubt filling my head ... I hope I can get back to that

Honest and direct thoughts in the poem. Sometime we need time to regain trust in another. I like the ending. You know how to make words come alive. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

I can relate to this so much. When someone lies to you (especially as they're looking right into your eyes) it can make that person seem like a stranger. It is so painful and leaves you livid knowing someone you love can betray you this way. You captured those emotions so well. Lovely piece (:

Quite a truth you're learning... it IS hard to forgive... but to forget? You're talking beyond most lifetimes.

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

I always forgive, I cant carry that around in my heart but my heart never forgets the bruise it left ... its the impact of life we all walk around with bruises on our hearts some more than others because we feel more of the emotional impact to bad our hearts dont come with air bags

[Chris]

Emotional airbags... that is quite the dream... sigh. Sam, you've a great heart woman and a gentle soul. And you write with a good and rare spirit. And yeah, you're sexy and real and usually leave me with a smile.

Lies hurt others period and eventually it will cause a lot of problems to so many people. They break up relationships too...Thank you for sharing this poem...:)
