Eloquence (A Poetry Book)

Lies

i can't recount the days,
the constant face to face
lies you told.

you said the were little white lies,
nothing harmful,
yet they cut deep through flesh.

i believed you till now,
permanently staining my
trust in you.

you snuck behind my back,
nothing serious,
yet it pulled my heart from my chest.

i remember the times,
coming home to emptiness
in the dark.

you kept at it when i knew,
nothing worrying,
yet that is when i stopped sleeping.

i wish i could forget,
you and those days,
hurt beyond repair.

your white lies haunted me,
nothing detrimental,
yet i was never the same again.
