Lies Poem by david lessard

'One more time, ' she said...
I said, 'Leave it alone -
it's dead.'
'I can bring it back, '
she cried;
She tried...
but she lied.

'I'm not twenty any more! '
I thundered.
'Please don't yell,
I didn't know.' -
she blundered...
I sat and wondered.

'It was great,
while it lasted, '
I replied.
'Yes, it was! ' she cried.
She lied.

'Can I see you tomorrow? '
she moaned...
'Maybe, I'll see, '
I groaned.
(I wasn't something that she owned)

From her arms,
I flied...
quickly blocking out
her sighs...
she not knowing -
I had lied.
