Her Last Lie


Those that lie
bring their own menu,
requiring a receiver
of lies to continue.

They'll go on and on
to those that receive,
telling lie upon lie
only fools would believe.

As of today I've
received her last lie,
I'll tell her she's lying
while I look into her eyes.

Well said.  A tough call though;  sometimes it is enough to know the lie for what it is and let the liar feel at ease.

It's difficult to cope with lies ... and liars. Once you discover a lie, you'll forever doubt, even if they say the truth.

Thank you for touching this problem quite efficiently.

Love,
Margherita

Sometimes those who lie honestly believe the words that flow so easily from their lips. It is only when the listener realizes the lie and confronts the liar do they face the fact that life is not their own personal fairy tail. Kudos to you for the strength to show the truth in your own eyes.

Interesting...and the part about the eyes,
so true....the eyes always give away what is
and what isn't..
