Lies

 I spoke lies, a garbage pile of lies

So demeaning, so hate-ridden

That my heart is now heavy

With all things forbidden.


I meant well. May you not forgive me

For a brain so heated, so defeated?

May you not regale me as old friends

Do? Completely let loose I speak falsities.


I didn't mean to hurt you, belittle you.

All I sought was some succour from

My mundane existence and hence I

Cooked up a garbage pile of lies.


Some day when I see you by the bend

On a rainy day for you my sunny friend

May you remember that I sought not to blame

But to relive the days gone by of dishonesty.


I spoke lies. All lies. All those words cooked

Up from building castles in the air. Is it fair

To condemn me? Is it fair to take me to the gallows?

Truth prevailing and abounding-- I am not a lie.
