The Truth: You Lied
You lied
With all your heart
By gathering all those sparkly words
Which can make one smile
You lied
About us
Being the best and forever one
Till the Earth summons us within
Oh you lied
For all that I gave
You,
You lied
Wearing that smile
I lend you to have it
You lied
With those glittery eyes
Whom I filled with love
You lied about love
With faintest whispering
So it couldn’t reach my ear
I heard your hoax talks
And your firm lies
Strangling my heart
Until my eyes bleed the pain
Oh my beloved
You stuffed my heart
With anger, vengeance and hurtful talks
Until my soul shattered
Into tiny pieces
On the way, like light and soft rocks
You left me at the lone ground
Ground burning with heat
And edgy rocks all around
You still lied
About didn’t noticing my bare foot
You handed over me
A bunch of Euphorbia flowers
You secretly saw the thorns
Pricking my hands
Penetrating deeper and deeper
Making way through my flesh and blood
But you still chose to walk away
You sent me a immensely beautiful box
Wrapped in mesmerising cover
Glistening under the light
The box filled with your frightful and rotten fate
I accepted it with open arms
And twinkling smile
Oh my precious
You still lied
You stole away my magic
And sunshine
You left me like a wilting flower
Losing every dried petals
Day by day

Thanks a bunch Maria!!
Indeed your guess is right, chuckles…
But liar is liar and it doesn’t actually matters.
Lying is done with words and it has power to tarnish hundreds of truths.
I am so glad to know that you liked the poetry.
God bless you.

I appreciate your beautiful comment Ms. Dora!!
You said is so well, “ Lies in beautiful package is still lies.”
Lie is a lie
White lie, half truth or hidden truth is a lie ( unspoken lie).
May god bless you

Wow! You nailed him -- I'm assuming the liar was male. Maybe not. Does it matter? Either way, a passionate poem.
Dora Weithers from The Caribbean on September 24, 2021:
Disgraceful topic, gracefully recorded. Lies in beautiful packages are still lies. Well done!
BRENDA ARLEDGE from Washington Court House on September 24, 2021:
