I Read Between The Lines

Enough of the sweet talk
No more false flattery
I have grown wise enough
Basing my fact on reality

Insincerity does cut deep
You should take heed
Do not give me false hope
The truth is hearts bleed

When those illusions fade
The mind seeks clarity
Knowing facts from fiction
It became the necessity

I read in between the lines
Its my suspicious mind
Flattery gets you nowhere
If the truth is hard to find

If you ever apologise again
Then try a little honesty
Stop being so misleading
I will ignore false flattery

"Flattery gets you nowhere
If the truth is hard to find"

Hope springs eternal but my love are lurching not springing

Your words are as excellent as they always are but your eye is now like a learner driver taking a first lesson and wondering why you have forgotten the blue light behind

Love is something that doesn't make the world go around, but it does produce a lot of greenhouse over the fence gas.

For my sake if nothing else, write of the world, write though your heart aches, write even though there is no sake

Write with your imagination, skill, drive, desire

Write

I write these words to you because I have read your talent and skill for a number of years

I want to read those words again

Nicly written, I can relate.
It is sad when life has taught us that we have to learn to read between the lines.

Enjoyed this alot.
