Liar

A Poem by ShahW1

PROMPT: “Write a poem that could be set to music!” - I wrote of a love driven drama.

I see hours pass, but cannot touch

the moment

I hear voices, but can’t compute

the comment

I travel the routes I must, performing simple tasks.

But before I trust the sword,

which caused this wound,

I ask:

“Liar, liar, liar, liar?”

And in between we dance

around the truth

around regret.

We glide through it all

as though, only clouds

lay between us

and our

Oath.

…

And we dance, toward romance

as though not to

would surely

kill us

both.

That is, until…

I breathe in, deeply,

but get no air

I have a path to walk, but cannot find

you there.

I know I see the sun, yet I do not feel the day

I read your sweetest words,

while fighting doubts

that say:

“Liar, liar, liar, liar!

Still, in between we dance

around the truth

around regret.

We glide through it all

as though, only clouds

lay between us

and our

Oath.

…

And we dance, toward romance

as though not to

would surely

kill us

both.

That is, until…
