smiling inconsiderate me
dashes your dreams
with the click of a finger
in the blink of a lie
kiss your good time good bye
sweet dear those words
still make you bleed
as you stutter them out
forced from your stomach to
apease my male ego.
i love you too.

'in the blink of a lie'

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you very much!! This was just a little doodle that started life as just the first two lines and then fell into place.
Thanks for reading.

'in the blink of a lie'
I also noticed this line, especially as it reminded me of the great Mark Twain and what he once wrote:
“A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on.”
Thank you for posting this poem, I really enjoyed reading it. Well done.
Nathan.
