Rain hasn’t come along in quite sometime

making the secret garden bare and barren

quite thirsty for moisture that will somehow

lead to a sweet rupture of velvety petals

waiting for raindrops and dewdrops.

Lies

lies that roll out of your tongue

fluid and untamed

brutal the cut it makes

dark enough to bring me down

sharp enough to sever us.

Sometimes honesty is the best policy. When you are honest, you don’t have to think of how to cover the lies you told. -justme62
