Lies...

Lies,
everyone lies
be it a white lie,
to hide the pain
be it that small lie
to cover the truth
when that little lie
starts to hold its grip
fills that barrel of emptiness
from being just skin deep..
When all’s that said & done
and that lie devours you so
It deepens your sorrows
drowns you out

who would have thought
so long Iv kept,
this lil’ burden
not knowing what I’ve foreseen
it could have lead to
if only,
you knew for all this while
today would not have been as lonely
as it would have seemed
just trapped by
this small little lie...
and wonder what it could have been..
