Hear the echo? Can you hear it?

Like a pebble in the water
Your lies ever outward span
Touching not just my heart
But all who reach to touch my hand

Like an echo bouncing backwards
What you said comes back to me
Wasted hours wasted love
Because you lied about being free

Like a rose that slowly fades
Your words pass into memory
Yet the cut still wounds and bleeds
As I drift on echoes sea

Hear the echo? Can you hear it?

Paula, what wonderful and descriptive lines in this one.  "Your lies ever outward span."  Isn't that the truth?!! Very fine work.

Paula~

Echoes and ripples ...

Kind of like a boomerang effect ...
                   it always comes back !

Hurt is felt in this piece.

I feel that a relationship has gone bad because someone wasn't honest about already being involved.  The pain in this work is obvious.
This one I like. I really like.
