I keep living
As though love
Comes with strings attatched
And try as I might
I cannot cut through
That lie.
Kairos Jun 19
I forgive your lies,
Do me a favour? Just once.
Pretend to love me
Haiku love liar

Grown ups are liars and kids know

We told them we had to protect them from the world

But the world is us

And it is no place for our kids
Lance Remir Jun 16
The greatest lie you ever told to me
Was sealed with a kiss
That passion, desperation, clinging to mine 
You lied fiercely to me 
You pressed it to my lips as I believed it all
Lying to me repeatedly 
But my heart begged for more of your love 
Lie to me more, please
Because every time we do, I gain some hope
That this wasn't the last
That we had so much more in store for each other
We held on for so long
Both wanting to make this our permanent truth
Once again
I fell for the lie, the promise, that you will always
Come back to me
Maria Jun 15
Amidst the crowd she’s alone,
Amidst all hundreds of friends and others.
She’s alone. She sits by herself.
Amidst empty and worthless dialogues.

It’s as if she’s being overlooked.
It’s like as if she’s in silence cloud.
Her thoughts are quiet for all them.
She’s far away. She’s lost in the crowd.

She lives in her own world of dreams,
Without fictions, lies and falsehood.
Her footsteps are quiet for others as streams.
Nobody knows what'll be her remote.

And she lives in her tiny world.
Worries and fears are endless there.
It seems as if she’s attached in whole
To all her pain, which bites and bares.
Thank you very much for reading this poem! 💖

I hear them sometimes
Whispering their lies

Do you hear them?
Behind those eyes
Whispering those lies

I surrender most times
To their lies behind my eyes
Surrender to their whispering lies
I struggle sometimes with the whispers behind my eyes
Lyla Jun 13
I wanted to be reassured
And instead all my doubts
You secured
My worst fears were all true
You undoubtedly committed them into stone
With a sigh and a roll of your eyes


Now someone new
It’s easy to be easy
Honest
So anxious you can’t breathe
You agree

And maybe I’m learning from my missteps
My history of dishonesty
My lies I thought would keep me from crumbling
Yet all they did was build an unstable foundation

I refuse to believe this is all on me
You were mean
You snapped and snarled
I begged
I cried
For a whisper of the stars once in your eyes
I looked
I saw
Pools swimming with indifference
Clouds of emotion shimmering on the perimeter
You shut me out

I fell down
In the collateral
Of our ****** building
Stunned in the shambles
Of what I thought was
Staring at the pieces I taped together
Fooled myself into dreaming it was super glue

Awake at the floor of my ****** tower
Aghast in the debris
You float away
I am still shocked by this mess we made
Trapped within four broken walls
Crumbling at my feet
As we speak
Something lurks in the forest of veils,
A place far from the war,
Which 'we' prevail.

A ripple of unrest,
Within the blankets of truth,
Hanging in the dripping branches.

What is a which hunt, without a lie,
One to convince us were doing good for 'us,'
A blatant killer,

Is among us.
Now I stand between sides, thinking, who was really correct?

Can you only visualize with your eyes?
How else does one view the prize?
What's the max number of tries?
What if both body and mind twist truth into lies?
Can I adopt a different disguise?
Will I have to provide my own alibis?
Or do those come packaged up with said lies?
Who attends to the styes?
Why are there so many goodbye's?
Lost in the questions as hope dies
Emptiness on the rise
Forced into the chamber where despair resides
This is what hope buys
Mama never said there'd be days like this
Days a pig flies
