09 Mar Sweetest Lies
the sweetest lies
are the ones
we tell ourselves.
when we know the truth,
but sit it on a shelf.
collecting dust;
passing time.
feigning trust;
shutting eyes.
the sharpest knife
cuts straight
to the bone.
when we try overlooking
what we damn-well know.
with rose colored glasses
and a heart full of hope.
a victim of yourself;
a self-deceiving dope.
the sweetest lies
are draped in desire
and buried in the dark.
there is no instinct
like that of the heart.
