My lies

His arms around me
His lips against my cheeks
His breath warm against my skin
His supple body against mine
“That was beautiful, I love it,”
He whispers
I hug him tight and whisper the same
But I wanted more
Something more than that push and shove
Something more than the heave and go
I lie
Because I love him

She looks at me
My best friend June
Her eyes pleading with me
I say ‘ you will be alright honey’
You will be fine,
Your groom will adore you all the time
You look beautiful, so divine
I lie
Because I know nothing is always alright
The beginning of life is always tough
There will be quarrels and sadness
Sometimes there may be heartbreaks

The little girl smiles at the new born puppy
I will love you forever she says
She wants it to be true
But it’s a lie for the puppy
Cos some day she will grow up
And go away
I look at my mirror
And say I am alright
But I am not
I lie
Because it’s just not right
To tell the truth at times.
