Altered Truths

Evening scribbles.

I drank your lies

with a smile on my lips.

One of us

must be dreaming ...

Good job, Doc. Yes, we can be accepting of another's deceit, either unwittingly or willingly, rather than be alone. But then, we come to understand that it is no good for either party and things must change. But which one is dreaming...the one who thinks his story has gone over...or the one who has realized her world needs to change.

A good write, Doc.

And sometimes, both are being deceived by the other, I think. Never easy if it's one sided though...
Thank you so much for your thoughts here and for appreciating, Ted. :)

Very cutting Yumna, and I'm sorry for your pain don't be to hard on yourself we have all (including myself) seen beauty in things that turned out to be ugly

Ah it wasn't really written as a personal experience but thank you so much for your words here, BB. I do appreciate :)

such a conundrum presented...either he is dreaming that she is really accepting his lies as truth...
or she is drinking in his lies, believing them..and being deceived.
i like how this can be taken opposite ways.
well done.

I'm glad you appreciate, Jacob. Thank you so much for your thoughts here :)

Sounds quite scary as the protagonist appears completely in control and making a conscious decision to play a double game. Short and powerful piece.

Thank you so much for appreciating and your words here, John :)
