A Lie
A lie.
A lie is an Untruth, not So or Being.
You intently shove a sweet venom of these fiends down my throat
as if jabbing my untrusting mouth with a scalding poker.
It burns, oh it burns, and blisters the flesh of my esophagus,
bleeding and searing the tender flesh.
It tears open and the lies drip down, cascading past the muscles of my throat and collecting around my heart.
There the lies fester.
The larvae of falsities wriggle deep, creating cavities of uncertainty deep within my soul.
So now…
Even the obvious is doubtful.
And I can no longer believe in fairy tales.

"There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages to which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, and is well worth staying up all night to finish."<br /> — Lemony Snicket (Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid)
