Lie To Me
by Joan SerratelliLie to me
tell me that
you love me
Lie to me
tell me that
you care
Just lie to me
I don't mind
let me think
that I'm the
only one you love
Just lie to me
and make me
believe you
Lie to me
make me happy
before I leave
this earth
just lie to me
just this once
....please

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 10/04/06 at 07:32 PM Joan, it was none other than Emerson who wisely said, "Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies." What you have here is thr "why". Painfully insightful. Thanks. |

| Posted by Tony Young on 10/06/06 at 09:31 AM Well thought out Joan, one must talk to you to lie even, it would be nice to know that they are your choice of lie though... |

| Posted by Rula Shin on 10/09/06 at 01:02 AM The "truth" vs "lies" - when it comes to our own ability to cope, the line seems thin. The truth of the lies is that we all seem to live them. Very poignant piece indeed Joan, emotionally gripping. |
