Why Oh Why?
people die
people lie
people eat pie
why?
why am i so good at
letting go and
so bad at holding on?
people die
why?
why do people say they
love you when
they really love
their fantasized
romanticized
idealized version of you?
people lie
why?
why do they claim
unconditional love
when
they really mean
love as long
you stick to the script?
people eat pie
why?
why do i say that
i love you forever
when
what i
really mean is
i love you here and now
people die
people lie
people eat pie
why?

I think it speaks to the subconscious, asking ourselves what we really want in life and dealing with the emotions that come along from those difficult situations.
Great write.
Great write.

We lie for the ones we love, the truth for everyone else. If a woman asked you if she looked fat would tell her the truth or lie? Sometimes lying a necessary evil. Keep on writing.
