MaryN in Poetry & Free Verse

Lie To Me.

My soul sold for a price so cheap

The devil had to grin

An artless fall from grace

For a love

That proved finite

And a lie

That grew into my truth.

For a kindness that bore cruelty

In our love that was only mine,

A mindless torture

That I breathed for life

And death.

All that was a drug,

A poison,

A toxin,

All that was you,

But,

Instead of killing me

You gave me life.

Give me life.

But maybe I’m dead.

Will you tell me?

Will you lie to me?
