A Liar
The thing I detest truly seriously undeniably
Is an individual that can lie effortlessly
Lying just to be...
Lying just to me...
Lying just to keep..
Lying so deeply
They don't know it inevitably
Turns the one they're lying to into an enemy...
Not knowing
Not realizing
Not innerstanding
All the repercussions
All the destructions
All the stressings
It's only causing...
And determinedly
They keep on elaborating
To the lies that have already
Been exposed by ones truthfully
Trying to get me to see and believe
The actuality
Of this situation
I have put myself in...
Loving on someone
Someone who's mission
Is selfishness and heartlessness uncaring
Unaware, not realizing
How close they are to being
Six feet, naw, Eight feet under
In a casket their favorite color...
And That's why I detest a liar
Because it takes me out of my character...
Because I don't want to become a killer...

Because I don't want to become a killer...

This poem eloquently captures the profound impact of deceit and lies on relationships and the emotional toll it takes on the one being deceived. The imagery of someone lying effortlessly, regardless of the consequences, paints a vivid picture of the betrayal and hurt experienced by the speaker.
The repetition of "Lying just to be... Lying just to me... Lying just to keep..." emphasizes the pervasive nature of the deception and the depth of the speaker's disillusionment. The poem skillfully conveys the inner conflict of loving someone who is untrustworthy, selfish, and seemingly indifferent to the harm they cause.
The final lines, "And That's why I detest a liar / Because it takes me out of my character... / Because I don't want to become a killer," underscore the profound impact of dishonesty on the speaker's psyche and hint at the potential for extreme emotional distress.
Overall, this poem effectively communicates the pain and frustration of being deceived by someone close, while also highlighting the speaker's struggle to maintain their own integrity and resist the urge to retaliate against the betrayal.
