#dishonesty
Liberate the train Inch by inch, mile for mile Speed is a waiting land, devoted to plain Excuses and accusation, in the lips, all the while Independance, is our reward Found futures, in a problem silence, now In last, the problems of candor before the words Of compelling a heart to action, as if guidance allowed Travel of the ****** Suppose to wither with denial? Sordid capture of a freer insanity? Cares of presumption, to live with fear, filial? Callous worth, we's of owed solemnity Trading hunger for wheel's Spare adroitness to tame a keeping nativity Boxes of avarice, with purity to establish a host feel's Rage, for a dream in the land Set to firsts and lest we begin the dire harvest Of an honest soul, that has lent avarice a hand A thought for wishful patience, that has momentum to attest

Well Served; Astute, Baring, Copious Solitude
Make up ******** You always do Is there a sliver of hesitation when the colorful stories you animate roll off your tongue like hot butter melting across a frying pan? You alone have this mystical ability with words Spinning ordinary Innocent Letters with sick deranged threads Vindictive deception But don't even realize you're doing it It is remarkable

Pathological Liar
I am losing you, I am losing her, I am losing him, Where am I? Lost in an unknown world, Trapped in my own world. I lost you I lost her I lost him, Where am I? Stranger, stranger, stranger, So familiar yet so strange, I am lost in my own world, A world I created my own. I've lost you, I've lost her, I've lost him, I am sorry, For what I am a sinner.

Lies
The lies do not stop once they start Know I'll eventually master the art How long until they come apart? I think it is time to come clean Should never let fear be seen No one know details of your routine So go ahead and hide what is true Sanity secretly an unlocked open zoo You've all got answers but not one clue

Unlocked Zoo
Speak the words you let lie in your throat, the spiteful synonyms these cruel anecdotes. Trap me with a ***** look you cast my way, let your insults hook all of my willingness to stay. Inevitably you can find another reason to say nothing, yet I can only remain to be kind for the sake of merely having something.

willingness to stay
You know what? It may not feel real to you, but It does to me. Lies so often that it’s uprooted my own Sense of sensibility. Gentle, loving touch I feel it deep shivers down my back The services you render I haven’t seen Since I ran Allroy off the track. Peck rapidly with your thumbs Although you can barely read. But here I stay, I care I can’t explain the need.

By the Gaslight
It’s crazy Crazy how someone can care so deeply about you But they can’t help from hurting you Betrayal at its finest is what it is When will I heal? When will I forgive? Because I want him here to be my rock And I want to trust him again but I’m still stuck Stuck on how he chose up Stuck on how he switched up Stuck on that feeling I had deep in my heart Stuck on the memory that still tears me apart I can’t forget no matter how much I try things will never be the same My trust is one thing he can never fully regain Playing myself like a fool is one thing I cannot do No matter how much he claims to have switched the way he moves When he looks into my eyes he sees the pain That very same pain I felt when everything changed when I look in his eyes I see adorement but still and yet I can’t see us making this commitment He is mine...Though I doubt this to be fully true And I long to be his but will we see this through When will I heal? When will I forgive? Will I ever find more love for him ...to give?

Fractured Trust
My lover and I, we’re super intimate. I trust him and he trusts me. I know the password to his phone, Like I know his face in a crowded a room. The intricate pattern of a square, It’s lines firm and final. The journey of my finger, Across the coolness of the screen. I dig my hand inside his coat pocket, My fingers searching for the feeling that I know so well. The feeling of cold metal, a chip in the corner, And a crack in the glass. I frown as instead my hand comes across a matte phone case, And the crack in the glass that my finger searches for is instead a smooth screen. My fingers wrap around the device, still warm from its use, And my heart stammers as I see that it is not the run down htc that I am holding. It’s a new phone. A new and better phone is laying in my hand, It’s screen blank but its venom lethal. My fingers scurry to unlock my lover’s iPhone that he had never mentioned, But there is no square pattern and I am instead faced with numbers that hold no sense. Why did my lover need a new phone? Was his old one broken? Had he grown tired of the cracks or how it’s battery would drain in a matter of minutes? Or was he simply attracted to a new, shiny phone with it’s bigger screen and fancy case? Why hadn’t my lover told me about this new phone? Did he not know the bounds to my love - I could love a different phone, But I couldn’t love two. Did he love two phones? Could he not decide which he preferred? Was this phone a temporary fix or a replacement? My shaky hands turn the screen of the phone which mocked me so cruelly black, And I slipped the phone back into it’s hiding place. My hands don’t then search for the old htc, Maybe it’s because I might not find it, or maybe it’s because it didn’t matter if I did.

I see the boy's eyes puckered destroyed he can't grasp how is this so? on balance tales and lies do for the spark of a yarn's pull? or are the child's ties torn the parent's solidity broken his rock in a world shaken?

Human Dishonesty
I spent 3 years loving you. I poured my heart out yet you left me. You left me because of the freedom that you wanted. Yet there you are, looking for another relationship. I’ve been questioning myself, thinking that I wasn’t enough but I realized, you’re the one who can’t be contented of me. You wanted something more. All I did is care for you. All I did is think of what’s best for you. You left, not because you needed freedom, But because you wanted someone else.

I haven’t been honest. I haven’t been for many years. Like a skill out of practice, I don’t know how to. Especially to myself. .

Quick Liar
it's weird the things that pester your mind just when you thought you had it all sewn up... you tell yourself you are this generous and big-hearted person well maybe on some days and then you remember the kid in fifth grade that rushed up asked for a five pence loan was all I had left but I did it, didn't I believed her that she'd pay it back in the morrow for sure but she wasn't at school the next or the next and I'm still inanely mad at her and at myself as she knew she was moving the very next day and man was I miffed but you know I couldn't give tuppence about the coin -no 'twas the principle of the matter wasn't it she knew she would never pay it back so why lie I would have given her way more had I known it was her last day

caught out
Swinging from a fraying rope Clasping on to lies you think I'm desperate enough to believe Pathetically gripping words though I can clearly see fibers stretch and break from tension of reality The weight of awareness too heavy for your false promises to bear

Fraying
Tell me how it feels to hide and bury your feelings so deep that only lies come out of your mouth, to be dishonest and disloyal under the surface, yet appear so humble, to manipulate someone into giving you everything you want while giving nothing in return, to be loved by someone and throw them away without speaking to them, to be so afraid that you cannot speak the truth but can still pretend that you are brave. Tell me how it feels to carry the agenda of a sad man who has no heart in the empty cavity of his chest.

I’m doing well Can’t you tell? It’s so steep inside Can’t feel my white lies Right there That’s it I’m gonna lie… I’m gonna lie! So close! A sigh… …I’m your tarnished lullaby If you know me so well Come here And break my spell So I can shoot my lies All over your face

I must reflesh my memory It's getting gammy in here Flush it Charcoal silt, pured water and oxygen Prey attention to memory Tend to it Till it Till it's clear and consistent in it's dishonesty : A single picture One linear note And no deviation.
