Lies

By Lang Leav

The smile slowly faded as I read through your lies.

Little by little, they manifested one upon the other.

First, there were those phone calls.

Then, the way your face would twitch when you were caught.

I was entangled in your web of lies, I have had enough, I thought.

And then, you would bring me back with your assurances, you are my number one, you would say.

You are my number one too, I would say.

But I’m lying too.
