Candied Lies

Your lies were dipped in bittersweet chocolate;

with a heaping amount of caramel sauce drizzled on top.

I gobbled up more than I care to openly admit;

in fear of what others will think and say.

After enjoying your momentary treats;

came the truth;

with so much salt, it was baffling to eat.

 

A.K.A

 

(10 w)

 

The lies I ate, but

the truth I couldn’t take.
