Lying

In lessons? 

A Little Story 

You knew that she was lying
that’s why you didn’t call
you knew that she was lying
quite simple – lying

that’s all

although you knew – the lying
no need to cross the road
the past is the past, behind us
it’s tomorrow that will unfold 

no need to sit with the lying
no need to dwell on the past
ok, again – she was lying 
doesn’t mean those lies should last 

you know, we know – the lying 
no need to hide or sneak
lying it’s sheer condition
childish games of hide and seek 

the lying it hurt, yes
pained us
each lie it scratched, as it fell 
receipts of deceit, deception 
not tomorrow’s show and tell 

the truth you knew – the lying
simply, as well we knew
the road to chaos, destruction 
the road
she ploughed right through 

what is done, is done
it’s over
dwelling; like pissing in the wind
no drama, no show-stopping finale’
nor up-keep of original sin

the lying, veneer of the lesson 
the gains as bullshit collides 
the nuance of suspect behaviour 
subtle blessings in disguise

we know, again – the lying
subtle blessings in disguise
the source
a means of redemption 
stepping-stones to tomorrow’s reprise
