Swollen Lies ;(

I looked into the mirror this morning
frightened myself.
There was someone staring back at me
that I did not recognize
with eyes of swollen lies...

I have been wondering lately
who has been sharing
this body of mine,
causing me to have doubts,
wanting to know things,
asking too many questions,
wanting to remove those gray strands
from my life...
needing black and white
definitive answers...
but only seeing
eyes of swollen lies...

Deep sighings replacing soft smiles
and now tear shut eyes
are swollen with memories
that must have been lies.
Life is never one-sided
even if you are told so...
Life is never what you know it to be,
only your interpretation,
something that you thought "was"
but in reality "isn't."

He lies to she with swollen eyes...

How can one know
what is in store for them
when all truth seems not to exist...
when you find out that your life
is and was all a lie...
when what seemed happiness
  never really was
and what is sadness now...just is
or is it...
what is truth anyway
what is love anyway
what are vows to always be
to always share
to always care
to be there at times good and bad
Is there nothing to ever hold onto anymore
even now
if he were to say
he only did this for me
so I can be happy again
I would not believe him,
the one who gave me

Eyes of  swollen lies

Hi MMoonchild,

I am glad to see you still writing, mirrors have a way of showing us alot of truths if we are really looking for the truth, some of my best slaps of wisdom came from standing in front of the mirror, I am with you in spirit, remember you can get a hold of me any time you need.

Love, Cerenity

those that hurt us usually don't want
to....but never the less, it still
hurts. Again, I felt this one!

M, I again send you my thoughts, and so sorry you are feeling this pain. You certainly have a gift for expressing it so that it is felt by all. I wish you peace, and love always.

Exchange those tears for drops of ink and make the paper swell with your beautiful writing! Don't stop writing.
Keep writing....
