Lying in bed
whispering lies beneath the sheets
how easily from his tongue they fall
sliding wetly across your skin
like a snake
and sometimes touching more
than one place at a time
making you believe it really is forked
moving in a downward spiral
seeking out your most vulnerable spot
slowly sucking you in
as is the way of all lies
each one slicker than the one before
relentlessly sliding into your soul
filling the emptiness you hold deep inside
and as the lies come quicker, so do you
then lying back you lose control
as you scream out the words that are not a lie
then suddenly you find yourself
lying alone
in the tangled sheets now damp and soiled
by all the lies
yet wishing he were back
lying once again with you.

As you well know, at one point in my life, your poem easily told my story.
If this was to happen to me now, "his" next poem could be titled, "Dying in Bed."

.......................just sayin..

I could live another 50 years and be perfectly happy to never read this one again, sweetness.

I thought it was a fun play with the word "lie."   Enjoyed!
