That word
which left the lips with a smile
but the eyes denied it instantly
that very thing... was a clear lie.
What kind of truth is this
that pours sweetness into the ears
yet knocks on the heart’s door
and slips away in silence?
I have seen
people hide the truth
and dress a lie in garments
woven of glittering words
but that glitter
never lasts too long.
A clear lie
is a mirror
where the face does appear
but the truth stays blurred.
Those promises
that were once made
turned out light as air
and the words
wrapped in solemn oaths
scattered like grains of sand.
You said,
Everything’s fine
and I believed it too
but in some corner of my heart
a whisper rose
This isn’t true…
This is a clear lie.
Because truth
doesn’t raise a storm
it descends into the heart in silence
and a lie
no matter how adorned
eventually reveals itself.
So why then
Why do we turn our eyes from truth
and embrace a clear lie
Perhaps
because truth sometimes hurts
and a lie
disguised as a beautiful illusion
grants the heart momentary peace…
But remember
that peace is fleeting
and a clear lie
in the end
shatters
before the face of truth.
