Lies

November 3, 2020

You haven’t been
Completely honest
With me, you or anybody
Always telling half truths
Bald faced lies

The question is
Why, why?

Nothing gained by your actions
All lost in the aftermath
Of your lies
Your sordid lies,
Lies.

Will I tomorrow see
A new you as you say
The one to tell the truth

Or

Is it just another lie
One of your many, many
Lies.

The Bottom Falls Out

February 22, 2016

The bottom falls out
That’s when I see
The dirty truth
That’s been hiding
From me.

I didn’t know
I couldn’t see
All that sordid, disgusting
Lying
Cheating on me.

Now I’m free
I can see
To help those in the same state
That once held
Imprisoned me.

Yeah, Yeah

March 25, 2015

Yeah, yeah
Is what I say
To everything today.

Sordid, angry, no patience, no way
Yeah, yeah I’ll be better tomorrow
Or maybe the next day.

See no joy, no harm in any way
Just down
It’s a yeah, yeah kind of day.

Blessed I guess, cause I can have
A Yeah, yeah day and no trouble
Consequences come my way.

Must find goodness, find a way
To see happiness
In a yeah, yeah type of day.
