What "Lies" Between


Sitting, she reflects on her past,
as the light enters her day.
Wondering to where she is traveling,
why it's turned out this way.

Once so full of energy,
some would say "hyper", still,
Others, intense and moody,
but always of very strong will.

Life to her, an elixir,
to drink from, to flourish, to feed.
When stifled and smothered in falsehoods,
she weakens, she falters, she bleeds.

To take the innocence from her,
the loving, unconditional, desire,
To torment with thoughts of mistrusting,
flames rise, and the heat becomes higher.

Playing the odds, are no winners,
each will have lost in the end.
Whether husband or lover, a "player"
Loses the "luster" of friend.

Watching the mind's eye, her window
the blueness, aware of "between".
She's no one's fool, this woman,
who watches as screen venoms "green".

She drinks now from lies and concoctions
deceit being ingredient, main.
As she travels the highway electric
releasing in travels, her pain.

She'll discover the words that will comfort
and cloak her, protect her once more,
In a trust that can feed her, to nourish
a loving, her heart shall endure.

thank you...I wasn't going to write today but   saw  something elsewhere that upset me...honesty to me is something I value  even more than love and there is so much dishonesty in the world both real and virtual...that is what this is meant to say...

dg this was meant  to be deep...as deep as someone has to go to read and understand...I probably could have been more specific but I think it is more universal this way  
thank you for reading and responding

As we leave the past behind
a new light of hope can shine for us
to help us rebuild our trust and our
desires...nice writing...James
